Another very hot day with
temperatures in the high twenties but with a fresh breeze that made
things a bit more comfortable on the ground.
The
wind was southeastely not our favourite launch point, in the morning we started
flying fairly early but with sink of 3-6 down everywhere the flights
were very short.
Ian Mitchell
fixed the magneto on the Pawnee so by midday we had our tug back, but the
winch launch durations were so short we decided on a early lunch.

The
afternoon was much the same as the morning regarding the sink, the
first aerotow to 3,000ft nearly beat the tug down, but late afternoon we
enjoyed several soaring flights to nearly 2,000ft.
Two
visitors from the Dorset club visited us but did not fly but Phil Hardwick from Brentor had three flights in his Astir and nearly soared. - John
