Wednesday 28th August

With high pressure still in charge a very pleasant start to the day, all the gliders were walked up to the south-west corner but with poor visibility and low cloud, we didn't start flying until 10:30.
 
Peter Sm had quite a queue for his services as BI duty instructor - a task that lasted all day, and as soon as the cloud was high enough CFI Pete  managed an aerotow. We welcome back Ben, a new Junior member who had enjoyed the one-day course with Teign Academy last month.
 
Congratulations to Glyn for going solo, 40 years after his ATC solo. 
 
Ernie congratulates Glyn on his resolo
 From about mid-day it became soarable, Tim J had over an hour in the ASW19, JB checked out Malcolm to fly the Eagle solo.
 
CFI Pete flew with a visitor Mike from Southern Cross GC in Australia, who was interested in the hand operated rudder controls that can be fitted to K21 HCX  for teaching disabled pilots. - JSt
