Other news, - the Eurofox demonstrator arrived, fourth time lucky! DRE was rigged again (ever hopeful). With a great turnout of members the airfield was set up early and the first winch launch was taken just before the 10am cheap deadline, with Martin Woolner the duty instructor.

With the arrival of the Eurofox shortly after 10am the airfield cleared with interested parties wanting a nose! We then had a busy morning, with a mixture of winch and aerotow launches, with lots of positive feedback heard in the Launchpoint. We even had a weak link break behind the Fox, when it was being put through its paces, with James Flory and Stuart Thomson in the Perkoz carefully dropping the rope in the triangle for collection, very considerate.
With a total of 10 launches behind the Eurofox and lots of data collected, Roger Cornwell left at about 2pm to head home, thanks for your visit.

Flying continued with a greatly reduced membership on the airfield, James Flory and Stuart Procter finishing the two-seater flying list by 4pm when with dropping temperatures we finished for the day. With 56 flights, a great day was had flying, thanks to everyone for a good day. - Sally Hender (a very chilly logger and blogger)
