I arrived at 1.30 and Frank, Christian and Wolfgang came at 6. We have tested both local bar facilities (in moderate ways) and the local kitchen facilities (in even more moderate ways). So far things seem to work well. Tomorrow night we are invited to join the ARR staff' annual mølje-party. Too bad for you who decided not to come early.

Tomorrow morning we have a meeting with the air station management. Then the DLR people will start preparing the hangar, while I'll fix more administrative tasks.

Weather here today was quite nice. Plus 4 Celsius, not much wind, drizzle at times. Almost no snow in the coastal areas where we tumble around. But lots of ice - extremely slippery.

I enclose some snapshots from the plane and the ground.

More to come.

Regards,
your advance servant
