Another poor forecast
with rain arriving in the the afternoon, although it was a bright start
and quite warm it quickly started to cloud over from the West. The wind
picked up so it was back to Winter clothing, that is except for Peter
Smith who despite being frozen kept his shorts on.. that is until after
lunch and suffering from hypothermia he put sensible long trousers on.

Most people managed a soaring flight, Mike
Fitz and John Street had 30min and 2,000ft on the first flight.
We kept
flying until we had gone through the lis,t with the weather looking
threatening, we put the toys away and it started to rain as we were
closing the hanger doors. - John Street.
