Another lucky Thursday between weather systems meant aerotow only due to the wet field again. The wind was a light west north-westerly giving some hope for ridge / wave lift. There was some low cloud which delayed the start until about 11:15, but the time was usefully spent offering up the K13 to the new trailer for fuselage fittings. Having ensured that the new fittings for the fuselage would work, "prudence" suggested that we should try it with the wings, which highlighted a small problem needing a slight redesign!
As it turned out the ridge did work, but there was no wave to use, and every so often a street blew through crosswind. There were thermals and some convergence, which gave several flights of more than 30 minutes.

Longest flight went to Robert in Junior whilst everyone else had lunch. Adrian was chuffed to complete a short engine run on his new toy.
Tom and Ron visited Nympsfield for short introductory runs with clever Trevor in the Nimbus 3DT, Conditions were only average, but it was the first Bath run of the year.
