Another sweltering hot day, with much promise from RASP, unfulfilled. Alongside the eager course members four eager pilots with private gliders joined the launch lines, slightly held back in anticipation of better things to come.
Excellent help from our willing course helpers, enabled the course members to develop their flying skills while, David Perriam made continuous use of the Junior managing a soaring flight of over an hour, and Harvey had the longest K21 flight of 37 minutes.
Private gliders also managed soaring flights. At times during the day those on the ground were in full relaxation in the shade offered by the new Launch Control and required some prodding from the instructors to retrieve gliders.
Shade was enhanced from a hijacked clubhouse table and parasol.
Amongst the 36 launches, Mike Sloggett and Peter Smith instructed between them on 20 K21 flights. - Rob Rand and John Borland
