COMP DAY 5....streeting was forecast and it duly set up early on. The
tasks set at briefing managed to ignore the streets by running at right
angles up and down the vale of York!
Yesterdays Eagle landing hit the
press with the Hull Daily Mail running a story
about the "exciting emergency landing" and a photo of JP and Nick
looking suitably relieved!
The day's flying was good with strong lift but a 25kt wind made Eagle progress slow. The ASH romped along with Alan showing Phil what Robin May had taught many years ago using speeds and flap setting previously unused by 711!
Malcolm and JP clocked up Castle
Howard then Goole and up to Sutton Bank where wave influence made life
challenging. The Eagle opted to head for home and under a dying sky
returned for 175Km. With the wooden competition already on the ground
hopefully a third successive"best wood". Matt W
had a good day flying the SF27 and Jane P joined the group to swell the
female ranks.

Thai food cooked in the camp and the fire pit refueled
with logs brought up by Matt saw a great end to a successful day. - JP
