Another nice warm Wednesday with a long flying list, the wind was forecast light north westerly - not testing enough for yellow card checks, still I expect there will be plenty of opportunity for that in the coming months. This was the last Wednesday of BST this year and we made good use of the day with 41 launches and 5 aerotows we stopped flying at 5.00pm to beat the misting canopies.

Mike Fitz made a welcome return to North Hill with an winch launch and an aerotow and his first flight in the Perkoz after a long absence from the club due to a broken wrist his comments after flying the Perkoz "beautiful handling and an ideal addition to our fleet".
