St George's Day, that has nothing to do with it, but let's be patriotic!
Fourth day EUGC course and Club day. Hazy low cloud to start, but it soon cleared to give a bright warm day with a fresh southerly wind, a sheet of high cover appeared late afternoon to cut down some of the sun's warmth. There were no thermals at all throughout the day.
The EUGC students seem to be wilting in the heat, only four today. Note to prospective soloists - make sure you have your medical signed up early in training or you will not be able to go solo when that ideal day arrives.
It was a busy Club day, a couple of Thursday regulars returned from long winter holidays to get checked out and return to flying the Junior, others' training continued and welcome to new member Richard, one of Flybe's Dash 8 pilots.
