Sunday 29th December

A good day was had by all -
A forecast of fine weather encouraged a small but keen group of members to turn out and enjoy some pleasant flying  both winch and aerotows in the bright crisp winter sunshine. The field remains quite soft and it is very easy to break the surface.
Say no to wheel brakes
A number of flights allowed certain pilots to demonstrate their skills at 'sniffing out' the parts of the sky which offered reduced sink and/or pre frontal wave. 
K13 over the green and pleasant land
Longest flights from the winch were by Pete St  in Junior and Guy in K13 at 18mins. Oh and Matt W with 26 min in the Jr.
Off into the blue
Good team work all round ensured that by the time the hangar doors were closed a total of 39 flights had been completed for the day and that everyone who wanted to fly had flown. Congratulations to Gordon H who has flown in the back seat for the first time and been accepted for Instructor training. - MS
