It was almost a repeat of last Thursday, but the easterly wind had a bit of south in it, it was a bit warmer, and practically not soarable. There was another stone-picking exercise to start and yet again a long flying list.

With all four two-seaters in use all day, we made good progress with return to currency flights, but as with last week, unfortunately a few members missed out on flying - hopefully we will be back to normal soon, please bear with us.

Late morning, Chris Wool managed a short soaring flight in DG505 with the help of some brief sea-air convergence, but it was short-lived.
During the afternoon, the winch-driver George Sanderson spotted a small problem (noise) with the winch, whilst aerotows continued, swift investigations and analysis occurred and Chairman Nick and Stirling dashed off to a bearing shop in Exeter, and it was all refitted by close of play.
Thanks to everyone for mucking in - great teamwork as always. - J&P
