Another lovely morning to fly, unseasonably cold and cloudy with a modest breeze.
Following heavy rains, the duck pond had reappeared and was being patronised by a flock of ducks as well as a host of swallows flitting low over its surface. A grey heron trod slowly through the shallow water searching intently for bugs.
Following a few aerobatics, I brought Wally down for some low flying again, over the pond and paddocks. During one of the passes buzzing low over the pond's surface the Walrus dipped a little, and suddenly the prop was kicking up spray; real prop wash!
Fortunately the Walrus had enough momentum to skim to the edge of the pond. A quick inspection revealed damage was limited to a few drops of water which had leaked in through the cooling vents, nothing another fast buzz around the paddocks wouldn't dry out...
