It was a cold (-5C) start this morning with the windows frozen in the Clubhouse at 8:00. The members that were on site decided given the temperature to wait an hour or so till it warmed up to get the aircraft out. During this time James Flory trialled his new more organised morning briefing by PowerPoint in the clubhouse which was warmly received by those present.

After this a K21, Perkoz and Junior were brought out and the airfield was setup with the launch point in the north east corner and winch in the north west. Flying got underway not long after 10:00 with members taking advantage of the Eurofox (duty tuggy Simon Leeson was in a good mood and so allowed some of the other tug pilots present a few tows).

Sadly due to misting canopies we had to pack up about 15:30 however we got pretty much everyone on the list flown - so a good day overall. Once everything was packed away James Flory and Andy Batchelor tried out the new force feedback on the simulator and seemed very impressed. - Connor Williams
