Float Repair

Both aircraft damaged in the Tsunami disaster have meanwhile been repaired and so has one of the floats. The second float is still undergoing repairs as shown in the pictures. We hope to have the new skin sheet fitted again soon by the sheet metal workers team, so the painters can apply finally the company colors.
 

Desalination Plant

All the new and repaired spare parts for the seriously damaged desalination plant have finally come in. The assembly, calibration and commissioning is now in its final stages. We expect to have tomorrow again our “own” sweet water supplies, so we are no longer handicapped by water rationing.
 

With less demand for aircraft for our operation we have now time to finish putting our new livery on the remaining 3 aircraft, which could not be done last summer, since we did not really have the expected off peak. One aircraft (8Q-TMJ) is in the hanger  being painted, while the second aircraft (8Q-TML) is outside the hanger being prepared for the stripping of the various layers of old paint to commence in the next few days. The third aircraft (8Q-TMA) is just out of the water and will be last in line for the new livery to be applied. Last, sixth photo shows an aircraft    (8Q- TMK) in new livery after some checks being re-launched into the water from the trolley  used to transport our aircraft to the hanger.
