After the Tug pilot's message on GG yesterday, we had a very disappointing turnout to the club! But with a keen duty instructor going up and down the airfield in hope of improving conditions it was decided at about 12:30 to set up and give it a go! Dan Hender (assisted by Sally) had his first official DLM duty with very few members to actually Marshall!
Matthew Howard was first on the list, so jumped in with JP and promptly launched into cloud, so pulled off at about 500ft and had a 4 minute flight! After a while it was decided to use the remaining cable to see if the cloud base had changed but the cloud was not playing ball. So with only two flights, we packed all the equipment away again, and more tea and coffee was consumed. Thanks to everyone who gave it a go, better luck tomorrow.
