The weather forecast was optimistic for later in the day, but not first thing, so a plan was made for an out and return with a remote start from Church Stretton (railway station) to Shrewsbury and back - and a small group of DSGC members set off mid-morning on task. Whilst other DSGC members set off to sightsee in various parts of Shropshire including RAF Cosford.

Meanwhile George V joined in with the Midland GC members with a view to getting checked out to fly the K23, which Plan was successfully achieved with George completing 3 short but enjoyable flights by the end of the day.

The only DSGC member to launch their private glider was Paul Little (Open Cirrus - CEC) who set off late afternoon on a rather ambitious cross country landing in a field some 30 miles away from The Mynd and needing a retrieve as darkness fell. - Mike Sloggett
