Was this the first day of the rest of the summer?
A west north westerly fresh breeze and cloudbases increasing to 2700ft QFE and sometimes 4-6kt thermals.
There was plenty of soaring training for the Thursday regulars. Congratulations to Tom in Junior and Liam in K6 for both achieving their 2 hour flights for cross-country endorsement, with Tom's being signed up as completed.
Matt ASW20 M5 completed O/R to Molton again, Eric LS7 194 flew for several hours, and Jonathan gave ASW19 877 an airing. Soaring continued all day and even after handover to the Nick R evening group.
From mid afternoon, wave clouds could be seen all around but were unreachable.
The Pawnee struts have returned following inspection and repaint and have been refitted. The exhausts are ready for refit, and it is hoped the final inspection will take place next week.
