Thursday 1st March

It was a foggy start which took quite a while to clear, and just as we thought it was improving the wind stirred up the fog in the valley and it rolled back over the airfield.


The morning was spent on a demonstration of the principles of derigging and rigging a glider for the budding cross-country pilots using one of the Juniors. After an early lunch, the first launches took place and after a further change of ends it turned into a very pleasant afternoon, marginally soarable but still with very poor visibility.


Congratulations to Rowan for passing his BI acceptance checks (the beard is on the way out now) with CFI Pete.
