Wednesday started with a reasonable forecast, this led to a huge list and a lot of expectation.
The
field was very wet but OK for aerotows, we soon had three two-seaters
and a Junior out and ready to fly, we then waited for the cloud to lift
but it was a bit slow in clearing - so an early lunch.
We got back on the field ready to fly and a shower went through, then more waiting, at about 2:30pm we took the first aerotow.
Then
more rain and low cloud and more waiting, at last a clearance came
through from the N/W (and it got decidely chillier) and Dave C took an aerotow in theJunior.
One
more two-seater flight then misting canopies meant we had to call it a
day - a dissapointing day but at least we gave it our best shot - (the first flyable Wednesday since early December).
Mike Fitz gave another lecture and Adrian fiddled about with his IS motorglider (after his epic 300kms O/R to take the K21 for fettling yesterday). - JSt.
And Congratulations to Muggles for his Gold height at Omarama, NZ earlier today.
