Two midweek flying days in a row! - hopefully a sign of things to come.
There were showers blowing through in the brisk north westerly which limited launching to 1 per gap.
A great day with lot's of happy smiling faces. - J&P
The early start was delayed a little with the receding cold front, but another aerotow-only day soon got underway.

By early lunchtime the last of the showers was in sight the wind had backed more westerly and the afternoon flights were all quite long with the ridge working to a good height of 1300ft. There were also good rough thermals and some streeting. Aston got to 3000ft, and JB and Gordon B in R37 had the longest flight of the day at 2 hours exactly.

The real excitement was after a long wait for the paperwork to come through, finally Pete St put G-CLRD our new Junior, through it's paces.
