“What is that strange yellow glowing thing in the sky” said the Wednesday regulars. "It’s like nothing we’ve seen for weeks and weeks, and there’s not even a gale force wind to deal with.” After a quick check by John Sillett that the field could support flying activities, the enthusiastic pilots then make quick shrift of the daily inspections and walking the gliders up to the west end and getting on with flying.
It was, to be fair, a light wind providing more of a gliding day than a soaring day, but that gave us all a chance for improving our currency. Chris Warnes had the honour of providing the 1st First Flight for 2022 and Mike Meatyard progressed to flying a Junior. Peter Field was able to exercise the Pawnee on several aerotows and we welcomed back Paul Davie, Dunstable Life Member who lives in Budleigh Salterton. - Tom Sides
