Saturday 10th December

A pleasant but cold day with a light south westerly wind and the field had dried nicely after the rain. Lisa was practising for her Asst Cat completion course. Rowan was practising for his BI course. Wyn practised field landings in the Falke. Members of the Falke syndicate were refreshing their acquaintance with VG after its long absence. One EUGC student made his first three flights, he is a power pilot so should make rapid progress. Meanwhile several trainees had circuit practice and Roly flew a few Trial lessons.
In the afternoon, the reason why you shouldn't overfly a winch site became
clear when a pair of pigeons flew across the airfield, unfortunately one was
hit by the cable and is now in a pie.
