It was a bright start with a good crowd ready to go by 08:30,.......

.......but by 09:00 the airfield was covered in high speed cloud at 200ft that looked a bit permanent, but was forecast to clear later in the morning. Chris M provided a weather brief for the day - being his final challenge to acquiring his Bronze badge - well done Chris.
Just after 11:00 the sky cleared quite readily and we started launching into a good north easterly blow, with some occasional clouds around 1000ft and quite soarable underneath. Thankfully cloud base rose to above launch height fairly quickly, and the rest of the day continued getting through the flying list, thanks to help from guest Instructors John Si and Stu. The sky was cycling reliably until late afternoon when some thicker cloud moved in as forecast.

Ray converted to K13, and Mark was busy with some Instructor coaching for a candidate from Culdrose. - J&P
