The occurrences and happenings at Shalbourne Soaring Society. A gliding club near Andover, Newbury and Hungerford.

Sunday 8th August

Congratulations to James Hunneman who today heeded advice (not that he really needed it) and flew off in the Vega in search of the elusive 50k flight.
Not only happy with just making it he smashed it by a fair margin ending up at Shennington!
Well done James........where next :-)

  1. I managed 303km in 3h25m NOS, ANE, FAR in the Nimbus. A lot of top cover up north but good if illusive climbs of 4-5 knots to a little under 5000' QFE. Ken & Ken in the Duo also flew a 307k task BIC LAS CAL and Colin flew BIC LAS (194 km). Trevor went to Trowbridge then Abingdon.
