Because of the strong
wind and poor forecast not many members turned up today, as soon as
enough bodies had turned up, we got one K21 out.

Pete
Warren took the first flight with Malcolm Vest after the wind strength
had eased a little and found plenty of ridge and thermal lift and
airbraked down after 30min to let others fly, John Street and Chris
Warnes were not so lucky on the second flight they had to return early
because of an approaching line squall.
In the meantime John Sillett got the DG505 out ready to fly, but by this time the rain was quite heavy so we went to lunch.

During
lunch the rain got worse so regrettably we put the kit away and put
paid to a day that showed early promise and retired to the clubhouse to
discuss the American Presidential Election and other more important
issues. - John Street.
