Thanks to Peter Smith reading the runes correctly and the skilled assistance of Simon Jordy in the EuroFox, a good attendance, alerted by Google Groups, made their way to North Hill on a Monday morning. Vicky also kindly opened up the cafe for a hot lunch, taken at a rather Spanish time of 2pm onwards, some even attending via hangar landings.
First flight with the south coast shining (Peter Smith)
A bit unpromising at first as it was still cloudy, Long Lane was still closed and other delays manifested themselves on the way, but at about 11am Peter took the first launch and declared conditions suitable, with a gentle NE wind. In fact things got better and better as the day progressed, until a really nice, but cold, couple of hours before sunset.
Last flight with all of Devon shining (Peter Smith)
The Perkoz and one K21 and one Junior were joined by the two Falkes and .in all, twenty flights were logged, all the glider aerotows to 2000 feet. I'm sure that everybody went home very satisfied with the day's outcome, with thanks to those who did the hard work, Peter and Simon.
Let's hope the rest of the flying week is just as good - Jonathan Erskine
