The sunny forecast was spot on this week for the Thursday regulars, and a moderate easterly wind gave some turbulent air in the circuit.
Training and check flights in the two-seaters with the solo pilots using a Junior was the order of the day, During the morning, flights were between 5 and 10 minutes depending on whether the sink was present. The wind picked up more gusty at lunch time some cumulus formed and lenticulars were briefly visible.
W7 on aerotow (Mike Horwood)
3 private owners took aerotows - Wyn W7, Pete 230, Jeff 380 and Geoff HES winched and all had good local soaring flights with the sea breeze convergence passing through.
Pot luck dictated that some club gliders also got some short soaring flights from the winch, but it was rather tricky to get away. We missed Mike Sloggett today, but good luck for the wedding tomorrow.
Another pleasant spring day with 28 winch launches and 4 aerotows. Thanks team for making it happen. - J&P
