Despite the weather forecast suggesting a brighter day from late morning onwards in the end we had grey skies for most of the last day of the September Course Week. But with a high cloudbase and a light Westerly wind the lack of sunshine did not worry the Course members who all continued to make progress with the objectives they had set out at the start of the Course Week.

Both K21s and both Juniors were brought out of the hangar with the launchpoint set up in the North East corner of the airfield. And then it was on with the day...

Meanwhile Tim Butler was being given further opportunities to discover different parts of the airfield with Mike providing Tim with various eventualities to sort out. By lunchtime Mike Meatyard and Reuben Renton had completed more training flights with Mike and Peter.
After lunch Ruth and Dave completed even more solos in a Junior whilst Tim found other different parts of the airfield to land in as Mike provided more eventualities to maintain Tim’s focus.
