The weather forecast on Friday was not very promising, but by Saturday morning the strong winds had abated, and there was just some low cloud to start. The airfield and clubhouse had been prepared to greet visitors, and Sir Chris Coville was featured on Radio Devon publicising the event.

Visitors started arriving early, and the gliders were soon walked down to the far end of the airfield with the low cloud lifting nicely. The Club's four two-seaters were kept busy all day with the new Perkoz taking it's place in the Club fleet.

After all the visitors had flown, some of the Club members took advantage of the opportunity to fly the new Perkoz.
Thanks to James Flory and all the Club members who helped to make the day go so smoothly. - J&P
