The forecast promised intense depressions at midnight either side of Thursday, with a slight ridge to give a hopeful clear slot in between. And so it did, cloud and rain cleared away late morning and we got the kit out.
With not many people to fly and a wet airfield we elected to aerotow into the strong westerly wind. The ridge was working well, and there appeared to be low level wave above it. By mid afternoon the next system was showing itself and with rain in sight we packed up. Flights averaged over half an hour - it was well worth the effort on an interesting day.
