With the start of the day and the mostly blue skies providing optimism
for a day of flying, a small but enthusiastic group of Club members,
including some potential new Junior members using their Quarterly
Membership to good effect, got everything ready - the day started
brightly with a number of training flights from the NE launch point.
However the low cloud which had previously been ominously close during
the morning eventually decided to put a stop to the fun and with no real
confidence that the weather would improve a number of booked Trial
Lessons were postponed for another day.
However a decision was
made to 'keep the faith' and early lunches were had ahead of possible
weather improvement during the afternoon.
Those Club members who
had stayed then had their patience rewarded with the skies clearing
sufficiently to achieve full height launches and with good teamwork all
round those ensuring that those who wished to fly did so during the rest
of the day.
Jonathan S flew 877 for a couple of circuits before putting her to bed
(hopefully not for long) and Mike R took Pete W for a few windy
circuits. Newish member Adrian P took Guy for a ride before the
diminishing ground crew put everything away around 6pm. - Mike Sl & Jonathan
