It was a slow start with a skeleton crew to run the operation and 6 trainees. We welcomed Paul Roberts from Lasham GC, a Bronze pilot who wanted to try out our K21 with the hand controls. Ashley Thomas was also back to try out the aerotow on his Trial Flight after getting hooked on gliding from the Exeter CC group evening. We also welcomed Tony Thomas who last flew at North Hill some 40 years ago when he was Technical Officer, he arrived with a list of members names to reminisce, and thoroughly enjoyed his flight with JB.
