With a chilly day (North easterly) forecast, the list was half the size of last weeks!
James Flory and Steve Westlake stepped in to cover the empty Duty Instructor slot for the day, but both needed to leave mid-afternoon, so time was of the essence. First launch was at 10:24am, with steady progress made throughout the morning. Tom Sides taking the Trial Lesson flight, which was enjoyed.

At 1:15pm we all stopped for lunch, with the draw of a warm clubhouse and the temptation of Roast Pork on offer from Vicki, I can definitely vouch for it!
We were all back on the airfield by 2pm, with Martin Woolner kindly stepping in to fly with the post-solo pilots. The donated winch launch visitor from Axminster Young Farmers took their flight with Tom but with only 6 mins, Tom generously took them again on a friends and family. Thanks to Rob Hender for winching all morning and Geoff Lawrence all afternoon.
And then with conditions changing, the card colour went up to a blue! At 3pm James left us, and further flights were achieved completing the list by 4pm. Thanks to everyone who braved the cold wind and helped today, another successful day flying. - Sally Hender
