Another morning with no catering, and again an empty clubhouse and everyone helping set up the airfield!!! Our new caterers start in the next few weeks, it was nice while it lasted! However, with the promise of locally sourced good food, I don’t think anyone will mind!
Flying started at 10:30am, with Duty Instructor Mike Sloggett starting work on the two-seater flying list. The first Trial Lessons were a couple, so Tom Sides and Dan Hender shared the flights, the husband enjoyed the flight so much he took a second flight trying a winch launch.
James Flory arrived late morning, so helped out with the list taking on some aerotow refresher training with Andy Bachelor. A lunch break was called at 1:30pm, all stopping, as there were so few of us on the airfield.
Stuart checked out to fly Eurofox (Stuart Procter)
After the break the second Trial Lesson arrived, two young siblings, who both required a lot of lead weights, but both thoroughly enjoyed their experiences. Flying continued until 5pm, when we packed everything away as the temperature dropped along with the sun.
A great day was had by all, thanks to all that stayed and helped until the end, it was quite a struggle to get everything away with so few of us. - Sally Hender
