Thurs 10th September

Today was the first full flying day of the course with great results. A busy day was had by all, with course and club flying running together in harmony, using both K21’s both Juniors, the Perkoz and several private aircraft.

 The expected change to wind direction didn’t happen so a full days uninterrupted flying was enjoyed by all present from the West end of the airfield.

 Pete Startup was a little ambitious (and late) in setting off for Tiverton, Sherborne, Beaminster, having turned short at Sherborne and diverted to the south for some sun, 230 landed at the Axminster Showground, fortunately the good field had been cut yesterday and was planned to be muck spread tomorrow.

The course fish and chip supper was a terrific end to the day, enjoyed by course and several club members in the cool evening air outside the Clubhouse. Thanks to Nick for ordering and collecting.

Looking forward to a good and clear last day of the course tomorrow which would mean that every day we flew a good number of launches even having started at midday on two days.

Let’s hope there are lots of good flying days to come. - Dave Perriam
