Well - Where was everyone???? Bad visibility & low cloud for the start of the morning, although
the Met Office forecast was for a clearance by 1pm, but by this time
the non-believers had all gone home! Only five members left and Lisa - Duty
Instructor - ever optimistic rallied the troops and a great afternoon's
flying (although rather hazy) was had by all.
Andria took advantage of being the
only student on the flying list and had five flights today working towards
her goal of going solo!
Lisa found the time to do a Trial Lesson which Michael Foster thoroughly enjoyed with his “Young Lady instructor” (as he put
it) which chuffed Lisa no end!! Simon L flew Trudie's nieces, and Mike F wins the award for the
longest flight of around an hour in the Pik. Runners up were Roly & Heather who had 29 mins in KEK, Finishing
off about 6pm - with Heather having an aerotow with Lisa
which she finished off with a hangar flight. Stu with James ventured off in VG to South Molton and back.
As we say - If you are not
there you don’t fly ! - Lisa & Heather
Meanwhile up the road at Taunton Racecourse,...We had a great day at the Somerset Military Tattoo. Our pitch was in a perfect position
beside the entrance so we had a constant flood of people visiting us.
A
lot of interest was shown and I am hopeful that several are keen to
fly with us in the future. I was helped by Paul S, Stirling and
Toby, William and John Si. All help was much appreciated. - Guy
