The day started hot and got even hotter! with nearly wall-to wall sunshine and a few odd patches of altocumulus castellanus, the wind was very light to start and picked up south westerly giving reasonable height winch launches.

| K21 landing (David Clements) |
Mark Courtney was back from holiday to fly the Pawnee, but with the high temperatures and increasing crosswind the Pawnee struggled a bit to get some of the gliders off the ground (and up to 4000ft for spin checks).

| Junior landing (David Clements) |
There was no soaring to speak of, but with 31 winches and 7 aerotows everyone was kept busy. Pete Harmer, Peter Smith and Mike Sloggett shared out the Trial lesson visitor flights. John Sillett was kept busy with Bob Burston on a 1:1.
