Mike and a pupil in a K21 and Henry in a Junior contacted wave for a brief period, 24 and 27 minutes respectively.
Ed from the Uni Club was allowed solo again, the second time in as many months.
The day was cut short due to canopy misting
A sterling effort by the Saturday crew cleared the contents of the glider workshop ready for the Sunday (heavy) team to launch a vigorous attack on the structure . The ragged brick pier by the door was quickly demolished, cables and fittings removed and the walls cleared ready for the attentions of the dry lining crew. The lights were removed, cleaned and stored safely ready for re-use after the new ceiling is fitted. Down came the old ceiling, together with a vast quantity of other material including a pigeon’s nest complete with eggs. One of our revered instructors was seen offering pigeon egg omelettes, although there were few takers. The offending section of wall to the vehicle workshop was severed in a trice and pent up frustrations released by several upon the innocent brickwork through a substantial sledge hammer. A huge clear up operation followed and by close of play all the material had been disposed of satisfactorily the building swept ready for the builders who are due in the morning.
Huge thanks to all who turned to and put in so much effort to move the job forward and save the club significant cost by so doing.
We all enjoyed it so much we forgot to fly
