A good day was had by all -
A forecast of fine weather encouraged a small but keen group of members
to turn out and enjoy some pleasant flying both winch and aerotows in the bright crisp winter
sunshine. The field remains quite soft and it is very easy to break the surface.

Say no to wheel brakes |
A number of flights allowed certain pilots to
demonstrate their skills at 'sniffing out' the parts of the sky which
offered reduced sink and/or pre frontal wave.

K13 over the green and pleasant land |
Longest flights from the winch were by Pete St in Junior and Guy in K13 at 18mins. Oh and Matt W with 26 min in the Jr.

Off into the blue |
Good team work all
round ensured that by the time the hangar doors were closed a total of
39 flights had been completed for the day and that everyone who wanted
to fly had flown. Congratulations to Gordon H who has flown in the back seat for the first time and been accepted for Instructor training. - MS
