Well - the third soarable Thursday in January! in between the low cloud, rain and strong wind days.
The morning started off cold and bright with a fresh south westerly wind, after a pitch inspection it was clear that the wet soggy patches would still restrict flying to aerotows only. The 2 K21s, 2 Juniors and K13 were in use all day with a total of 31 aerotows, thanks to Tuggies Mark, Stu and welcome back Peter F.

To the south west of the airfield there was a large area of reduced sink, and by lunchtime some clouds formed and there were a few short-lived thermals cut off by incoming top cover. The wind picked up a little and then the sky cleared again and there were more visible signs of wave at medium levels.

| A busy day (Jill) |
Most flights were between 17 and 30 minutes with Gordon B having the longest flight (41 mins) in the new Junior CLRD.
Thanks to Martin for helping Pete & Chris with the Instructing. A really nice day out. - J&P
