Wednesday 7th February

At last! a nice flyable Wednesday and in the absence of a strong wind, it was almost pleasant at the southwest corner of the airfield (under several layers of clothes).
Ready to launch (Mark Layton)
Three keen Brentor pilots after a long drive to North Hill were at or near the top of the long flying list, all available kit was out early and all instructors in place for a busy day in prospect.
John Street preparing to fly the Junior (Tim Johns)
 The weather was reasonably benign so both Juniors were in use all day, there where bits of lift on the north ridge and a sniff of the occasional thermal so some of flights were a bit extended - Pete Startup claiming the longest flight from the winch of 14 minutes. And we finally had some weather that was suitable for the Trial lesson visitor Andy.
Hangar flying (Tim Johns)
On the two-seater list we had three instructors on the go all day and Robert was kept very busy in the tug with a bit of help from Peter Field. Everyone flew, we started to fly all the gliders back to the hangar just after 4pm. We hope to welcome more of our Brentor friends in the near future. - John Street.
