QI 2004 Updated MArch 21st 2006 Unpacking 2004
   

April 8th 2006

We unpacked all 4 containers (23 gliders) today.
The scheduled unpacking worked out very well , but busy, so we forgot to make pictures
of the unpacking job.

Only 5 months to go before packing again for the season 2006 2007.

April 5th 2006

We have just got the confirmation that all 4 containers have been cleared by Customs.
Unpacking as scheduled on Saturday April 8th.

April 4th 2006

The containers arrived on Sunday April 2nd in Rotterdam.
The trucks will deliver the containers in Grubbenvorst on Friday morning April 7th.
We are only waiting for the confirmation of the Customs that the containers have been
cleared.
As soon as that is the case an email will be send to everybody and we can unpack
spot on on Saturday morning.

March 21st 2006

The containers are almost back in Europe.2,5 week to go.
As we have to unpack 4 containers we will do 1 at the time.
The schedule for SATURDAY APRIL 8th 2006 is

Green from 09.00
Blue from 10.30
Red from 12.00
White from 13.30

Everybody will be advised by seperate mail.

February 23rd 2006

We got the confirmation that all 4 containers are loaded and leaving on schedule.
The estimate date of arrival in Rotterdam is April 1st, so if everything is ok with
customs we can unpack on Saturday April 8th.
But all the owners involved will be advised by email.

February 20th 2006

After a successful season we packed all the gliders in our 4 containers.
One extra in White, because it is the first time that our Duo "FOX" is going back
for the European season. Quite a challenge to put in 2 Duo's and a DG505 in one container.
With the great help of all the customers it was an easy job.
In the late morning all containers were picked up by the transport Cie and they are due to leave
from Melbourne on Thursday 23rd.

August 17th 2005

Last week we spend collecting most of the parts for the new container.
The new High Cube container is waiting for us in Moerdijk (NL). We are only waiting for the nose_cones
and elevator fittings.
4 weeks to go and then we start packing for the new season

Some of the new parts

June 27th 2005

All the parts have been ordered for the new container. We expect to have them ready by the end of July.
As soon as we are back from the EGC in Nitra we will put it all together and transport the container to Grubbenvorst

We decided to build a 40ft high cube. So no problems with the Duo and DG1000T.

May 15th 2005

An update of the container setting.
Unfortunately one of the Nimbus 4 DM is not going to Australia
but in stead of the Nimbus we got a new option for a DG1000 turbo.

April 18th 2005

We started the preparations for the 4th container. The Yellow Kangaroo!!
We are working on 2 options: a special container for 5 open class gliders. (pallet wide, high cube) or a standard
high Cube ( 10" higher ) for 1 or 2 open class and 4 18 class gliders.
But the final decision will be made with 5 fixed positions.
