I flew in to Turweston today for lunch but on landing it was obvious there was something wrong with the nosewheel, which was found to have a flat tyre.
I had tools to remove the wheel but not to separate the halves. Despite it being lunchtime, Malcolm McBride found some and helped me extract the tube, which was beyond repair. He then sauced a suitable replacement from the maintenance hangar next door and helped fit it.
Result - within an hour the plane was airworthy, there was still time for lunch (excellent HEC), and the day wasn't spoilt.
Thanks Malcolm, great service from the LAA as usual.
John
