First thing we were bathed in sunshine with a beautiful scene to
the south of early morning mist clinging to the valley floor. John Si soon put pay to any thoughts of an early start by
predicting that the mist would creep up the hill, we all looked doubtful, sadly
he was right ! thanks John! we were soon
sitting under a blanket of thick fog.
Mark set a task for the Thursday crew, to form a group and present a
lecture on glider instruments.
I'm not saying they were slow to task but no sooner they were underway
the sky started to change- for the better!
The airfield was readied and soon John Si took up his familiar
role in the back of the K21, there he sat all day. It was quiet for a Thursday, at times it was difficult to keep
the place going. By now there were big gaps in the clouds allowing 4000ft tows for spinning, George V and Josef enjoying themselves.
Ian H and Mark C went off in the Falke for a Nav Ex, well done to
Ian for passing the test -completing his cross-country endorsement!
Malcolm V did his first aerotow in the K21, Geoff L continued to
impress in his Pegasus with some sweet landings and dare I say there is a small
smile coming back on his face!
By 4 pm "Iron man " John Si needed a break so Mark C
finished the list and by 5:45 everyone had flown.
Next week John Si has predicted that we will have snow, who am I
to doubt his predictions! - Mark C
