Strong winds and low scudding cloud conspired to prevent flying today.
Time was well spent hoovering out glider cockpits and canopy polishing etc - many thanks to the many hands for doing that stuff. Can we make it a regular thing now we're in the season of mud, grass and baa lamb poo?
CFI Pete has made improvements to R37's total energy system so that the varios may, a. tell the truth, and b. tell the same story as each other! Some other maintenance bits were done too.
Did I mention I went solo in R37 back in 1985? It was all working then - or was I too inexperienced to know any different!
The clearance came through about 3pm by which time most people had drifted off and I suspect the field may have been too wet to use by then anyway.
Better luck to the Sunday crew.
