The day started with the ever-optimistic arriving at North Hill hoping to fly on what promised to turn out as a lovely sunny day once the low cloud had cleared, but with strong winds and a chill in the air !!! The decision was made to wait a while and then at around midday the field was set up and the “Met Flight” flown.

The hardy solo pilots were cleared to fly, leaving a busy day for the instructors present to fly with everyone else. Some aerotow training took place which provided some entertaining viewing from the ground and even more entertaining for the crew on board, but, all useful experience and training !!!
The small handful of evening flyers arrived around 1700 and took over, with the same conditions throughout.
In all, a good day with lots of experience and practise being gained by those who were prepared to venture out on a windy day !! 25 winch launches and 4 aerotows in all- Dave Perriam
