Tues 8th June - Course week

Course week day 2, got off to an early start, with the weather being bright and sunny but not overly thermic, with the first launch at 09:25 by Chris Coville in the Junior.

Bright and sunny from early on (Dave Perriam)
The instructors followed but they seemed to be reluctant to get to full height !!!! (If you know what I mean). Sally Hender arrived and threw in a freebie day during which she kindly started Dave Perriam’s logging training in the shiny new Launch Control. Sally left mid pm for a prearranged meeting and left Dave P to it, however all went well ..........  I think !!!

All course candidates had several flights with Mike Meatyard, Chris Mew, Stuart Thomson, Tim Powell, and Ian Hunt furthering the training requested and agreed with their instructors. Mike Meatyard also enjoyed the Perkoz with John Sillett in the afternoon with Chris Coville continuing to notch up time in the Junior managing some soaring time on a couple of his flights.

Ian Hunt re-soloed in the ASK21 and followed that with a flight in the Junior.

K6 from Culdrose (Dave Perriam)

Mixed in with all the course activity, there was some private flights as well with two visiting pilots from Sea Hawk at RNAS Culdrose launching a Nimbus and K6CR. We also launched Eric Alston in G29 as well.

An excellent second day was had by all and finished at approx 17:30, with a busier and better day expected and to look forward to tomorrow. - Dave Perriam
