The low turnout on Saturday was completely offset by a large
number of members and visitors showing up on Sunday.
The flying list filled up
quickly, and with a combination of Muggles filling in for Peter F for the
pre-solos, Guy in the afternoon John St with the post-solos and Paul
Summers handling the Trial lessons, we got through pretty much everyone
who wanted to fly. Oh, can’t forget to thank Simon L for also stepping
in and helping out in the afternoon, particularly with those needing card
checks. With a gentle easterly wind, the sky was generally...well, mediocre!
Matt W and Tom S were able to steal the DG505 over lunchtime for the longest
flight of the day while Robert mowed more grass. But after almost two weeks of
almost no flying, who can complain. Maybe it’s an Indian summer and we can
still snatch a bit of soaring. - TS
Oh and congratulations to Mike F for converting to the Junior!
