That was an unexpected surprise! with the forecast yesterday giving moist tropical air all day, and yet this morning there were to be some breaks in the cloud in the afternoon. The morning was spent doing chores with the small assembled gathering - a flat tyre was replaced on Junior LRD, the Ground Hangar and Tunnel were given an Autumn clean and tidy up, a flat tyre was replaced on the Manual Disco, there was a demo of an electric golf buggy and there was quite a bit of mowing going on.

By lunchtime, we were rewarded with some glimpses of sunshine and blue sky, but still the low cloud..... After lunch and another roll call, there were just enough keen members to get flying. So with 2 K21s and a Junior, 4 instructors and the Thursday regulars - flying started at 14:50.

There were 15 winch launches in total into repeatedly cycling skies. Longest flight was Aston Key in Junior with 28 minutes. Thanks all -J&P
