Today plenty of members
turned up hoping to fly, the weather though was a bit indifferent but
the mist and low cloud seemed to be dispersing so the two K21s and a
Junior were walked over to the launch point in readiness for a light southwesterly wind.
Whilst
we were waiting for the weather to clear, a willing team helped Ian
Mitchell clear the workshop and rig R37 after the annual checks and then de-rig Junior LRD to take its place.
After many trips to to the end of the field to assess the progress of the weather an early lunch was called for.
At
1:00pm the low cloud was annoyingly still at about 600ft, Simon Leeson
managed to escape the field for a jolly in the Rotax Falke down to the
coast.

There was a
bit of fettling going on and some members trying hard not to crash
the simulator. At just after 2:00pm we reluctantly gave in to the
weather and put the kit away.

I won't depress the members to remind them
this is the last Wednesday of British summer time! - John Street.
