Saturday 27th September

A rather dull, cloudy day, but nonetheless there was a steady stream of members wanting instructional flights or card checks. The field was set up for a light and variable south westerly in the morning, but by lunch time the wind had swung round to the east which meant changing ends. The Duty Instructors Phil M and Ian M were kept busy all day – helped by Robin W-F when he wasn’t needed for tugging. Thanks also to the DLMs who worked hard to ensure the smooth running of the ground operations. Paul M rigged and flew his DG100 for the first time, making the watchers on the ground feel dizzy, as he went round and round and round again! A good day for practising circuits!! - WWF
