Sub-zero air temperature and ground frost at daybreak were novel. A good crowd at the Club and thanks to the regulars the gliders were basking in the sun before 09:00hrs.
Morning briefing covered the likely weather as usual and also the addition of a “turning r/l base” radio call. The importance of accurate downwind calls was also emphasised, – those to be covered by an appropriately modified call.
North Hill in the late afternoon shadows (Peter Smith)
Off into the blue sky and morning sun we went, no helping lift but lovely views. So it remained all day until misting canopies brought it to a close at 15:30. A really good day for the latter part of November with 27 glider launches.
Welcome to Instructing at North Hill (Peter Smith)
We welcomed Andy Pincombe on his first instructing day at North Hill and hope to see him frequently.
