Day one of our first Summer course and a reasonable day had by all, after a delayed start due to low cloudbase, adequately filled by John Sillett’s classroom tuition on the theory and recovery from the spiral dive and spinning. Flying started at about 11:00 and all course candidates flew at least three flights each, all of which were reasonably short flights due to the skies not wanting to play nicely !!!

Both K21s and FZF were in use with Sir Chris making good use of the Junior having it all to himself. Guy Adams and John Sillett were kept busy all day carrying out a lot of refresher training and card checks, with our only non-member candidate Stuart Thompson starting his initial training with a number of flights.
A good first day had by all and the day closed at 17:30 with a well earned coffee and debrief in the clubhouse, looking forward to a better day tomorrow, at least according to the current forecast. - Dave Perriam
