After yesterday’s adventures, today is a quiet day for Greg with just short flight for a rigging test on E27, which has had its undercarriage repaired overnight:

Diary
Wednesday June 12th. E27. Took up E27 for a rigging test. Rigging OK, Engine rough. Good landing.
Despite a rough engine, a good landing – which must have been a relief after yesterday.
No observer or other passenger was specified, so this was probably a sandbags flight, as explained under ‘Crew’ here:
