Paul Summers had a busy day flying three trial lessons, in particular Simon Harris was a returning solo NHL pilot from over 35 years ago and now celebrating his 70th birthday with a surprise gift from his wife – Simon was only informed of his flight on Saturday morning and was joined by 10 family members and their dog to celebrate his birthday and watch the trial lesson flight!!.

Busy day for Paul Summers - big family event for one grandfather (Simon Leeson) |
In particular, Simon was able to relive memories of years ago when he used to fly with his late father which for him was extra special and a big thanks to everyone who made the family and the earlier visitors feel so welcome at the club. - Paul Summers

Recorded to relive memories (Simon Leeson) |
Great day and wonderful to see Fred Marks back as a return member getting to grips with the winch again!
It was also good to see Justin Wills back at North Hill, he took JB for a ride in DD3 to Lasham and back. The day was rounded off with a lovely aerotow from Simon Leeson with Paul Medlock surveying the countryside from the back seat. - Lisa Humphries
