With the weather suggesting that evening flying might be possible, we had a good number of Club members arrive at the airfield for the latest Wednesday flying evening. As there had been no Club flying today due to poor weather it was necessary to get gliders out of the hangar and for the winch and launch point to be set up for launches to the North West - with the windsock suggesting that the ridge might well be working well.

With a long flying list both K21s, the Perkoz and both Juniors were soon being brought up to the launch point and then it was on with the flying.

The evening brought some spectacular views of the Devon countryside against a stunning sky and it was evident that the ridge was working well in places with Hans Jenssen demonstrating same through a 24 minute flight.

The evening provided the opportunity for everyone present to get into the air and achieve their individual goals from their flights, a nice evening all round - thank you everyone who helped this evening in one way or another. - Mike Sloggett
