Ian G - new member, ex-RAF pilot (and just solo in NW France where he runs some gites) enjoyed his first British solo just after lunch, and all the course members made progress in the benign conditions with weak thermals in the Broadhembury valley.

The club flying list was long and there was plenty to do in the way of check flights and spin training. In the late afternoon, there were some trial lessons who were treated to the sight of the inversion from above - beautiful in the evening light, even though it also underlined why soaring was almost non-existent.
After flying, course members, Instructors,helpers and hangers-on went for the traditional end of course dinner at the Keeper's Cottage. - Jonathan
