Just a taster from John Si who is currently flying Pilatus B4 CVV at Long Mynd.

| CVV Topping out at 5000ft in wave |
Much enthusiasm today with two
half-price launches before 10.00am, there was a long flying list, Chris C
was first off to bat with a quick circuit in the Junior.
JSt. spent most of the morning giving cable failures (some would say as usual!) Peter Sm & Roly flew the three Trial lessons and we soon made inroads into the long flying list. Pete H flew with Michael a 19year old from Bordeaux who plans to fly with us for the next few weeks.
After
lunch it became very soarable with good thermals feeding of the ridge
in the brisk N/W wind, there were many long flights in the afternoon.

| The end of a nice day's flying |
Nick H goes into hospital on Thursday for his operation and
I am sure the whole club wishes him a speedy recovery, details of the
hospital visiting times ward etc. will be posted as soon as it is known,
he will be in intensive care for several days. - JSt
