A bright start, but the north easterly wind was a lot stronger than forecast, and the whole circuit area was covered in heavy sink, so after the first two interesting circuits, a blue flag was declared until the conditions improved. But there wasn't much more than short circuits during the morning.
After lunch, the wind had dropped as originally forecast, and the blue card became red, and a few private gliders also enjoyed some short circuits with a few managing to squeeze out nearly 30 mins. Liam took the opportunity of getting his blue card checks complete in DG505 and flew Gordon's Kestrel 19 for the first time. Peter B consolidated his aerotow clearance from Yeovilton.
Late afternoon, a line of thundery showers developed to the south of the airfield and rumbled westward along the A30 until we packed up.
