Tues 4th August

It was a light south westerly wind, and there was quite a lot of cloud around, but launches were high and broken lift extended flights.

First up to fly with Pete Harmer was Charlie Broderick, who was not too impressed with the instruments being covered up for the training exercises. But having completed successfully all that Pete could check, Charlie enjoyed his first solo flights.

Meanwhile James Flory continued training flights with Harry Rigby and Josh Batchelor.

After lunch the wind started to pick up from the south with the approach and landings on the training flights becoming more challenging with the wind gradient and shear.

But the later flights also found some weak broken wave in the Broadhembury valley. 25 flights in all. -J&P
