Thur 11th August

 Another day of blue - easterly, bright, sunny and hot must have put quite a few of the regulars off, with just a handful to fly. 

It was not really soarable all morning, and Pete Harmer was putting Rob Hender through his final checks before sending him off solo. (3years to the day since Dan's first solo). Congratulations to Rob who on his second and third solo flights in K21, found some lift just north of the airfield.

Meanwhile, Mike Sloggett flew training flights with Brian Knight, Peter Smith flew with new member Nicholas Johnson, and James Smart looked after the Trial lesson visitors.

The private owners Pete Startup 230, Phil Morrison with Ron Johns DD3 and Justin Wills 1 took aerotows to get away, thanks to Mark for tugging. Pete had a total energy failure, Phil and Ron stumbled round Club 100 and Justin turned Wadebridge.

During the afternoon, all training flights and solo pilots were able to get away from the winch as the blue convergence came through North Hill. 

Thanks to everyone for helping to run the airfield  in the heat - particularly those who missed their lunch! 22 winch launches and 5 aerotows - J&P
