The day started off with quite a cool north Easterly breeze meaning everyone was putting on layers as the day went on! We had a joint briefing with all members and an extremely slow computer to help us along.

Once briefing was over Steve Westlake and Glenn Turpin agreed on getting all club gliders out and towed to the western side of the airfield. After 2 flights set off we then moved the launch point further down south between points A and B. With flights not being much longer than 10 minutes each we were able to get through most of the list before 13:00. We then stopped for lunch and were watching the microlight aircraft arrive into North Hill despite us not telling him about the curl over on the western side of the airfield! The afternoon came along with some flights being able to stay up for longer than 10 minutes. We have Luke Stabb and Benjie Pitts going solo again in the ASK-21.

The sun was trying to break through as the day was coming to an end.

All instructors were able to get through all the flying lists with not too many issues. And we had all gliders and ground vehicles packed away for around 18:45. Overall a great day from everyone at the club. Many thanks to Kai Mudd and Jack for making the walk from Dunkeswell just to be here! Written by Adam Smyth
