COMP DAY 7...was scrubbed. High over cast dampened thermals to the point
the comp director considered it un wise to launch the grid en masse.
To
keep the spirit of the comp alive there was the offer of a prize for anyone flying the task. Some glass ships followed the
Eagle into the air and so started a struggle to prove the task do-able.
The high cloud and weak climbs helped the TINSFOS (There Is No Substitute FOr Span) brigade, BBB spent
some time going nowhere and then had to divert
way north of track in an attempt to reach TOC. Almost no sun on the
ground and a final glide round TOC was promptly followed by a landing at
Rufforth gliding centre. An aerotow retrieve meant the all important
dinner plans were not affected!
Phil with 711 and Matt W were the silent stars, turning TOC and then Castle Howard for a successful completion of one of the tasks. Well done to Phil who is now on his way home and an intensive detox! - JP
