With an unininspiring forecast, hopes were not set to high, but what a day it turned out to be, all six club gliders were flying all day plus HEB K6. It was interesting re-packing the hangar from scratch with Fred still in the air we had to call him down as the K6 is first in.
The 6 to 8 kt thermals stayed with us all day, with Roly starting the soaring with a birthday present Trial lesson, a 90 year old gent with all his family with him, they were all well looked after by Heather & Roly and went home very happy.
The Pawnee was in use most of the day flown by Peter F and Pete W. Eric with son Al was flying the Duo Discus, Tim, Joe and Jonathan in the ASW19,and Pete St in his Discus completed the Club 100 in near record time (for Captain Slow). The EB28 from Dunstable turned Hembury Hill on a 500 km flight.
Everyone had long soaring flights, some climbing to over 4,000 ft QFE. - JSt
