The day promised much following a really duff Wednesday. - The sun was out and there were white puffy clouds early on, the pressure had risen and there was hardly any wind - just a slight easterly breeze. The flying list got longer and longer. Under such a lovely looking sky it was quite surprising that soaring proved quite difficult (even to the pundits). There were just a couple of short soaring flights. Star of the day was Mike F in Pik20 DFK who flew to Crediton and Tiverton under the 2000ft cloudbase.
The two-seater training list was quite long and there were trial lessons, including Robin who had suffered a push-bike accident six years ago and is paralysed from the neck down. He really enjoyed his flight with aerial views of Devon.

Congratulations to Liam for completing his cross-country endorsement, with a flight to The Park with CFI Pete in Rotax Falke. - Nearly a year to the day from his 16th birthday and first solo.
In the evening, The Met Office group had a better time than yesterday and flew through to a very beautiful sunset followed by a barbeque.
