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

Sunday 16th Early Celebration

As promised Sunday was the better day of the weekend and those arriving at the airfield were greeted with a clear sky - and a winch problem. Fortunately the #2 winch, on its new trailer, was ready do go and after a short delay we were ready to go.

You don't expect much in December, except cold and misting canopies, but for once the conditions were ideal. After three flights with me in the back, Selvam convinced me he was ready so his fourth flight of the day was on his own. Just in time, about 20 minutes later a big heavy shower arrived forcing a quick return to the hangar.

Well done Selvam.
