A quiet day at the Club with the weather forecast having perhaps reduced member optimism for today.
The
launch point was set up in the North West corner of the airfield and
the day’s gliding started under greyish skies, with little evidence of
any areas of lift.
And
then mid-morning those members on the ground started to notice that
launched gliders were staying up and even climbing in what appeared to
to be weak wave to the South of the airfield - no surprise that this
encouraged a quicker launch rate but the weak wave did not last long
before deteriorating as the wind changed strength and direction.
The two Falkes G-BKVG and G-CDSC arrived back in formation from Sywell with Simon Minson, Stu Procter and James Hood thoroughly enjoying the busy LAA event.

As the morning progressed trial lesson flights were completed alongside the Club flying list of training flights and card checks.
And
after lunch with the flying list having been completed those members
present had the opportunity for further flights if they wished them
With
the final trial lesson flight of the day completed and with everyone
having had all the flying they wanted late afternoon the decision was
made to fly the gliders back to the East end of the airfield and put
everything away for the day. - Mike Sloggett
