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

Wednesday 1st June

The reasonably promising sky filled in once the toys were out and we were ready to play.While the rest of us were pounding short circuits Bob B soared away for an hour. He returned to the airfield with the words of advice taken from a 60's pop song - "hang on to what you've got". The rest of us failed to find anything to hang on to. Mid-afternoon I decided to take a launch (in the LS3) in order to get to the other end of the field where my trailer was. It took over 2 hours to reach the other end. Lots of scratching for the first hour then things started to get easier. Trevor to longest flight honours with 2:36 in his Jantar with climbs up to 3,500'.
