The first flyable weekend day of 2014 saw a list as long as your arm, and all the available club gliders being launched by winch and aerotow. The sky was blue, the view was crystal clear, the wind was a light west north westerly. What more could we want - well a few thermals or the ridge working would have been good. Although Martin in KMV did find something in the valley to lurk in for a while.
JB was air testing his new instrument fit, and found a little problem with a lack of total energy. The SF27 was thoroughly aired by Matthew and Paul L prior to it going in the workshop,
Lisa had a lovely flight today with Dad (Dave Brummitt) who gave up
instructing about 10 years ago but still hasn't forgotten how to fly,
His first flight with Lisa in 18 months and looking good! We'll be seeing more of him at the club hopefully helping out with club duties
just like the old days!

There were also 3 generations of Smiths on the airfield with Peter flying his son Charles.

Unfortunately with the slightly delayed start and premature end of flying to misting canopies, some members did miss out today.
