Rain cleared through as forecast, there was a little orographic cloud to start with and cloudbase stayed low for most of the morning. Then there were a couple of hours with thermals up to cloudbase at 2600ft with a steady west south west breeze. James and Matt completed their first day of BI check flights with Tony Parker Regional Examiner.

But unfortunately with the Pawnee now on Annual Inspection, the second day of aerotows will be completed 'up-country'.
