Today was the quietest flying day I have ever known at the club. Having arrived early to get my name on the flying list, I found that I was the flying list. The sky looked miserable first thing, and Alan T took the opportunity to service the winch and test its guillotine.
By lunchtime there was enough enthusiasm among the small group of members to drag a K21 to the west end of the field. DLMs Joe and David C were both on hand to a keep a grip of the hectic schedule!
Stu flew the tug, I flew twice with Rowan before handing over to James H and Paul S who took a flight each with the other sitting in the front providing encouragement. There was some weak lift along the edge of the Sheldon valley, though being surrounded by some rather stronger sink it was a little difficult to stay in. Meanwhile Lisa drove her Landrover around as a retrieve / mobile LPV, before taking the hangar flight with Stu for her turn (after much arm-twisting Simon L had agreed to drive the Pawnee for the final launch). - Ruth
