Another great day of soaring with the Chairman's call for ad-hoc day. The main task was set as NHL-Candover Church - Crewkerne - Chilbolton - NHL for 505kms.
Achievements include: JB completed his Diamond Distance which makes his 3rd Diamond. The 500km flight was also completed by Phil Morrison and John Pursey in DD3 and Pete Startup in 230 - was this the first 500k from North Hill in a Standard class glider?.
