Well flight of the day award goes to Kevin Fairburn who completed his first solo after Martin finally got bored of flying with him......

| Congratulations to Kevin Fairburn - first solo |
......Kevin had a couple of nice circuits before disappearing off for 45 mins which encouraged Pete Startup (230) and Eric Alston (G29) to rig before disappearing for a few hours. Pete abandoned his task due to risk of sea air and followed the energy on a local bimble 182kms.
Just before lunch after the wind kept on switching direction instructor Martin made the call to swap ends and so the launch point was moved back to the north east corner with the winch over at the west end.
After lunch the other course members had further training flights, before Kevin flew the K21 solo again gaining his 1 hour flight for Cross-Country endorsement and coming within 500ft of a silver height! - Well done Kevin.
