A better day for visibility and cloudbase today, with just a veil of high cloud initially and a very light westerly wind.
Simon Minson got stuck in to the flying list, and with help from James Flory, John Sillett, John Street and JB, all the available gliders were in use all day. Everyone was making the most of the last day with two K21s available before the planned trip to Poland with KEK.
Congratulations to Ross Pratt - First solo (JB) |
Congratulations to Ross Pratt, who got is spinning exercises completed in K13 and then had a few more simulated launch failures before flying his first solo. Ellie Carter was also pleased to fly her first solo aerotow.
