Sun 18th June

 Happy Father’s Day!
Possibly due to the special day, there were very limited numbers on the airfield this morning, Duty Instructors Simon Leeson and Mike Sloggett organised the airfield with the Launchpoint set up at the east end (for a change). With only four names on the two-seater list the day ahead looked fairly short!!!

 Morning DLM, Dave Herbert ran the show initially, with the instructors flying Paul Warren, Mike Rigby and Dave Perriam (continuing his back seat training). The Junior was in demand with Trevor Russell, Chris Woodward, Rob and Dan Hender sharing the flying. 

Afternoon DLM, Geoff Lawrence arrived to a nearly completed list, this capacity allowing Barbie Fairclough to jump in a K21 for a couple of flights, followed by James Flory for an unusual solo flight, he must have enjoyed the silence from the second seat for a change. Circuits were the name of the game all day, with the longest flight lasting just 24 mins, well done Dan!


With rain forecast, everyone was keen to finish the day before potentially getting wet. Therefore we were packed away by 3pm.
A good day, with a small but efficient team, 22 flights in total. - Sally Hender
