Vintage Rally Day 3 - A much more encouraging start weatherwise and an upbeat briefing including a task. A modest 80k, down to Carsington Water then back up to Howden Dam and home.

| A Slingsby affair (John Pursey) |
With 6 Capstans all now rigged, along with the club T21 and our Eagle it was quite a Slingsby affair.
AXJ went off with Alan R in the rear gunner seat and me at the helm. Plan was to have an hour or two then land and do the task with JB.

| Launch the Eagle (John Pursey) |
Plan changed when JB chose to have lunch rather than get jammed in an Eagle. So Alan had to endure 5 hr 26m and a trip round the task in an effort to get the plonk prize! Tricky thermals but was a great day out.

| TP1 (John Pursey) |
Plonk won but Alan may not be able to walk for a while…
Next day looking good. - John Pursey
