A keen group of members arrived and at 09:00 with the help of John Sillett (who kindly gave a hand to James Flory) a Junior, two K21s and the DG505 were taken out and DI'd. James Flory took the first flight in a Junior followed by Dave Perriam solo in a K21 and Charlie Stuckey and John Sillett undertook two simulated launch failures in the DG, to recheck Charlie as Solo in the DG505.
