Once we had walked the gliders to the launch point there was a strong and gusting mainly Southerly wind. Before launching it was found that KEK had a puncture that needed fixing, when we started launching we found the launches very testing due to the sudden gusts, after about four launches it was decided to fly the K21s home as the the pre-solo pilots would not gain a great deal from flying in the difficult conditions,
