At last! a flyable
Wednesday, it started quite foggy but with every indication that would
soon clear so the gliders were got ready for the days flying.

The
low cloud stayed put but it was high enough for launch failure practice
so that was just what we did, there were several card rating checks to
be done so the mornings flying was not wasted. At mid-day the cloud was
still a bit too low to get a full height launch so an early lunch was
called for.
Pete Startup and Andrew Logan rigged in readiness for the weather to improve, Eric decided not to rig.

At
about 1:30pm the cloud had risen enough to achieve a full height launch
in the warm Spring-like weather but all flights only achieved circuits.

Still it was a very pleasant day and it was nice to see Dick Stevens
solo again after a long break from flying, we finished flying just
before 4:00pm as the cloud had come down to 600ft again, nevertheless
it was a very pleasant days flying.- John Street
