Happy Mothers to all!!
So those members with a special pass turned up early on the airfield, with an efficient team the first launch was taken at 9.34am by duty instructor Ron Johns with Ashley Thomas, closely followed by afternoon instructor Mike Sloggett with Emma Flory, also getting a reduced rate launch! With a surprisingly long two-seater and solo list, three two-seater gliders, and both Juniors were put in to action.
A number of private owners rigged and flew, Pete Startup (230), who made it to Tiverton & Wellington, Simon Minson (SM) who made it to Tiverton, Andrew Logan (FMS), Andy Davey (KCM) managing the longest flight of 192mins, and John Burrow (JB).
Team Hender (Ashley Thomas)
Dan Hender continued his IFP training and was given permission to take me up for a flight on Mother’s Day! I came back beaming! Thanks Dan.
Busy thermal (Jake Stabb)
Flights became longer as the day progressed, with a number having to be called back down! Check flights were completed, BI / IFP training consolidated and a sunny day was enjoyed by all. 49 flights in total.
Thanks to everyone who helped out. Hopefully the start of spring is here. - Sally Hender
