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

Wednesday Sunset

We were treated to a splendid sunset.  Camera on my 'phone hardly does it justice but here goes anyway.

As to what could have been achieved in the LS3 - I'd say a much shorter flight.  The lightness of the K8, getting more from a winch launch than anything else and it's ability to fly at speeds that other gliders would fall out of the sky meant I was able to milk every scrap of reduced sink on the ridge
