Arrived on the airfield to find a
Cirrus in the process of being rigged and cables being towed out.
Rubbed my eyes and checked my diary – yes it's a Wednesday in mid
November. WOW!
There followed a fine day with a gentle
SW wind, promising little in the way of soaring, but that permitted
everyone to practice flying wide leisurely circuits. So I was pleased
to observe some very tidy flying. Chris K and Rob J vied to outsoar
one another in the Cirrus which resulted in a couple of gravity
defying half hour flights, while the rest of us flew circuits. Paul
Bryant distinguished himself by not only completing his Annual
Checks, but also converting to the Vega, only struggling slightly
with the principle that number of landings should not exceed the
number of launches.
The afternoon shift arrived on cue shortly
after midday which kept us launching until sunset when misting
stopped play. Hon. Treasurer left the airfield smiling as we
managed almost 30 launches in a fairly short day.
