It was sunny first thing...... but then it all fogged out.... and it was lunch time before the sky cleared enough for flying.
Fortunately, not everyone gave up on the forecast and there were 20 winch launches and 4 aerotows in the afternoon, with Rob Hender getting back solo after a short gap whilst busy crewing for Dan!
Stewart was promoted from the reserve list to the FAI Virtual SGP Final
In the evening, Stewart Henshall competed in the final race of the FAI Virtual SGP taking place alongside the live FAI SGP 2023 competition. (Stewart had been promoted from the reserve list for the Final after coming 3rd in one of the qualifying events.) After 7 days of evening competition flights on Condor replicating (as near as possible) the actual daily tasks and weather set in Pavullo Italy, Stewart came a very creditable 15th place with 8 points - scoring in 3 races. (Grand Prix style scoring max 10 pts for the winner each day). So for a first attempt at this level of competition - that's 15th out of the 20 best Condor pilots in the World. - Well done Stewart. - J&P
