Angel Flight 2 comment by Roger Hadfield

"Gudday every one. What a horrible day on Saturday. Low cloud... snow... sleet... Ah the joys of flying.

Picked up Frank at 11-00am. Got him back to Coonamble by 2pm. Flight home was smooth at 8500'. Freezing level was 5000'.

Thank goodness the heater works.

Regards Roger"
