Another no-flying day on Wednesday, but Thursday looked hopeful, until you felt the force of the gusty wind....... so it was back to the DSGC Simulator. Thanks to Rob Hender for spending hours at the weekend resetting it.
First up was Aston Key practising some BI patter, then Ray Dodd took over and decided to head for the coast with a successful field landing south of Honiton.

Hans Jenssen completed the Tiverton - Wellington triangle with just a little 'miracle'. (Even Ron Johns agreed that this was a brilliant way of mentoring cross-country flying.) John Borland had a quick go whilst we were trying to set up the TrackIR headband properly. - more work needed!

After lunch Jonathan Erskine enjoyed 40 mins stick time perfecting his handling in the K21. Andy Davey and George Sanderson were busy fettling Andy's new acquisition Libelle in the workshop.
So not a wasted day - with the usual social banter at lunchtime (with Zoe in charge). - J&P
