A spring-like sunny start brought out a record number of hopefuls, the first couple of flights launched into a cloudless blue sky, then suddenly low cloud moved in, so for the next couple of hours it was launch failure practice.
About 12.30pm the cloud started to clear and full height launches were possible, soon all the gliders were flying plus Tim and Joe in the ASW19. There were wave clouds in the sky which probably accounted for the ridge not working properly as it was out of phase. Longest flights were 13 minutes.
Well done to Steve S ex-CFI from Kinloss who re-soloed after a long break and to Dave T who managed his first solo. Peter F was trying to do his first A/T as Tuggie but didn't find any takers, he decided instead to try and plough up the field with a Landrover! (didn't he used to run London Transport)? stick to flying Pete! - JSt.
