However, the actual weather conditions on the field were variable, with bright blue skies and a steady westerly wind down the field, interspersed with periods of squally showers and gusts to test the nerves of any approaching pilot, it was definitely a four or five tyre day.
Most of the 15 or so members contacted wave from the turbulent ridge. Wyn Davies gained over 2 hours in his LS7 for one of his Bronze flights and Henry with just over 1.5 hours in the Junior. Several flights got to over 1,500 ft with one flight to 2,700 ft. Wind speed at this height was over 40 knots, so an almost stationary climb could be achieved. At no time could you tell it was waving, there were no signs at all.
Any more achievements or news?
