The forecast rain was a little daunting for the first day of the course, although in actual fact the low cloud was more of a problem. There were met talks to explain the weather outside, NOTAM briefings and launch failures. In the hangar and workshop, briefings on DIing the Junior and a look round a derigged K13. Jack was introduced to driving the Disco, and new member Rob was shown round all the club equipment. The sky cleared miraculously at 1630, although the airfield was still running with water after the last heavy shower.
Total rainfall for the day was 8.4 mm with half of that falling just after 1600 at a rate of 73.0 mm/hr!
