Saturday 23rd August

A good forecast, but the heavy frontal clouds had to clear the south west first. By lunchtime the sky looked really promising with a light but gusty north westerly wind and streeting cumulus.
Training flights had started early and the two-seaters and the Junior were busy all day. The cross-country pilots covered most of Devon and Dorset with various tasks following the energy. The visibility was spectacular and we could see the smoke trails from the Red Arrows and other displays at the Dawlish Air Day.

Matt in M5  had the longest flight, went East first but managed to catch up the rain, so after turning Sherborne completed a zigzag of 346km.
