A quick start to the second day's proceedings. The field was all setup by 09:30 with the first launch at 09:44 with Chris Woodward and Martin Woolner. The second flight was then quickly taken by Jorg Beasley and James Flory. The early start was mainly down to a more than "above the call of duty" late night run to Shrewsbury to get a part for the winch by Stirling Melhuish. A 6 hour round trip, getting back at 3am to then start fitting it at 6am! Thank you Stirling - hugely appreciated by us all.

The sky started off fairly weak with very little happening to write home about. Stuart Thomson has again successfully gained the longest flight of the day with 25 minutes. Earning him the nickname of Mr Anti-gravity from James Flory.

Chris Woodward took to the skies again in his Astir CS77 after a long break. After helping us out, Gordon Hutchinson also took his DG200 out for a short trip.
Kevin Fairburn completed some successful winch launch failure simulations with Martin in the back.

Good progress has been made by Aaron Harris and Arthur Hayhoe with the later afternoon flights of the day. - Stuart Thomson - First Time Blogger
