Wednesday morning saw fog on the
airfield and miasma in the club house as Andy, Alan B, Ken R & Bill plied
dope on wing fabric. Fortunately the weather cleared before we were
all comatose. The wind, forecast to be NW, obligingly shifted to the
North allowing even the Puchacz to be launched to 2000ft. The ridge
appeared to be giving 1kt of lift which meant that we were coming
down at 1kt (think about it). So good launches together with slowly
descending flights provided a welcome bonus for the staunch winter
circuit bashers. The notable exception was Stephen O who clung on for
just over the half hour in the Ka8. Had he rigged the LS3 – who
knows what joys may have transpired.
