Today was not a day for pundits.
By the time members arrived at North Hill, the bright early morning sun had completely disappeared behind a layer of cloud that covered the sky. Circuits were the order of the day, but the trainees made the most of it: the duty instructors walked the length of the field many times, signing off various launch failure and field landing exercises. Meanwhile, in the clubhouse, Paul S and Pete Sm were having their brains fried by the new instructor training regimen.
After lunch, a clearance crept in from the west. Pete B, who had been studiously watching for his chance, launched in Ka6 HEB and logged the longest flight of the day at 18 minutes. The clearance lasted just long enough for us to put on our sun cream before the cloud rolled back in. Paul and Pete, having been released from the clubhouse, gave Mark C. 'Bloggs' some aerotow lessons. They agreed that Bloggs was a particularly difficult student.
