Wed 24th October

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 in the Perkoz (John Street)
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".
Sandy on a check flight (John Street)
Sandy had three more soloes building up her confidence and getting ready to get back flying the Junior again. We also welcomed back Glenn Turpin to the Wednesday team after his return from sailing in the Med.
Lots of aerotows (John Street)
John Sillett and Glenn were kept busy all day flying our pre-solo pilots Jonathan Erskine and Sue Dyson and various other check flights and visitors.
