The day's forecast at 7:00am was not too inspiring, but just showed a glimmer of hope for the afternoon. Family Bennett had organised a Youth experience day for all their young friends. They had all arrived at 9:00am prompt and following the normal welcome briefing, we started on the hangar tour and videos.

By lunchtime, the glimmer had become even more hopeful after the Visitors had resorted to a walk to the far end of the airfield and a game of rounders.

During the afternoon, the cloudbase rose and the sun came out, with extended thermal soaring flights for most. Some very black clouds passed just to the south of us.

We packed up at 18:00 in glorious sunshine having completed 26 launches for the young people and their families.
