Saturday 1st March

With no tug pilot and the Pawnee due to go away, the morning started with a careful search of the field for a suitable cable run. Members drank tea and looked on in hope as Martin and Mike F drove the length of North Hill scouring for dry(ish) patches. They eventually declared a single file launch queue in the south east corner, and flying began.

Solo pilots were hanging back because conditions only allowed circuits for the first hour or so. Then, just before lunch, Mike F and Eric queued up with the two Juniors. For some of us this was a big fat clue that we should have been paying better attention! Mike and Eric scored the longest flights of the day at 50 and 48 minutes respectively.

There were very few trainees, so Mike K and Douglas grabbed the opportunity to get some extra practice in. The motor Falke syndicate buzzed around in their recently re-aquired toy, and Ian flew the Pawnee to Bodmin for its Annual inspection.
