The wet field meant no winch
launches again - so aerotows only, we waited until the cloud base was high
enough then Mike Fitz and Peter Sm took a launch. By the time we were ready for the next launch the cloud had come down again.
JSt
started a talk on pre-flight checks and launch failures but after
about 20 minutes, it seemed the weather had improved somewhat, but after JSt &
Robert had taken another look at the cloud base it was decided an early
lunch was called for.
After
lunch the weather had not improved, so a team headed by Adrian de-rigged
CCY ready for transportation to have a new canopy fitted.

Getting the glider into the trailer was not without problems, the previous trial fit hadn't shown up all the issues.

| It doesn't quite fit! |
Whilst
this was going on, it was decided to put all the kit away, guess what -
as soon as the hangar doors were closed, the low cloud lifted.....
revealing a high cloud base......Ho hum. - JSt.
