The longest day and by the time we had finished it certainly seemed like it!
With
there being hardly any wind we went up to the northwest corner of the field, as a southeasterly wind
had been forecast. After a very hot walk with the two K21s and a Junior
we were ready to start, there were three trial lessons booked so Pete
Warren took the Pawnee up as well.
On the second flight on the
Supercat we had a slow launch but as Ray Buzza was having a card check, we used it as part of the red card check, after that we had a
major snarl up on the winch which was going to take quite a while to
sort out so we started aerotowing until we stopped for lunch.

John
Sillett flew the trial lessons Pete Warren flew the tug and John Street
flew the aerotow check flights until the Skylaunch was fixed.
During
the afternoon the wind veered to the southwest so we changed ends, after a
very hot day in which several club members were unable to fly, we handed
over to the evening crew. - John Street

It was still hot during the evening when the Teign Valley Scouts enjoyed their group flying.
