Unfortunately another blustery day, with little chance of flying. Ground schooling started promptly at 08:30, with two lessons covering all six course members. Then time was spent on the simulator for the less experienced pilots to demonstrate launch failure handling, while ridge soaring and aerotowing was covered for the rest. A course photo was taken in the hangar just as a shower passed over (thank you Gordon).

Then more safety videos and completion of log books was undertaken, and Graham provided an early lunch.
A big thank you to Mike Sloggett and John Sillett for making the most of the available flying time this week, (ed: and to Team Hender for running the airfield), and volunteering their time to provide an interesting and enjoyable week despite the weather. - Sally Hender
