Having been entertaining last night I didn’t get to the airfield until 10am, so can’t say how early people arrived! However, a grateful Trevor Russell gave up his seat in the Launch Control to allow me to take over.
With James Flory (duty Instructor) and Mark Courtney commencing the flying list, a good start was made to the day. Robert Lee took the three booked Introductory Flights with great success, all enjoying a half hour each.
JB and Ruth in DG505 (JB)
There were a number of private owners who looked at the weather and took the opportunity to make the most of the day. DG1 Dave Perriam, 877 Trevor Russell, JDP Dan Hender, DD3 Phil Morrison and Nick Jones. JB and Ruth Comer took the DG505 for a long flight to Tiverton, Pete Harmer took LRD for a flight home to MUD and back and Connor Williams took DRE and managed to have the longest flight of the day at 140 mins.
Ian Mitchell arrived to cover the afternoon duty, but with just one pupil left to fly, and with dwindling numbers on the airfield, flying was finished by 4:30pm, and the few remaining returned to the clubhouse.
Thank you to everyone that helped. - Sally Hender
