Thursday started with a blustery east wind with a touch of north, this dropped later in the day. With Pete Harmer under the weather it was down to Mark Courtney and Chris Wool to hold the fort. Recently joined Aboyne pilot Fran continued her winch launch training with Mark Courtney and was seen to be doing well. With initial card conditions being upper yellow, solo pilots were few so the two-seater list was fairly long.
We welcomed back Terry Knights to join the usual Thursday crowd. He had been away for 9 months and was pleased with a small tour of the local area in reduced sink.
