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

Wednesday 27th

Not exactly a promising day with complete cloud cover and a south-easterly.  Not many folks in attendance with some of the regulars at Sutton Bank and of those there Colin B was getting the club trailer into a usable state and the HAX boys were busy fettling.  We threw a K13 into the air for a weather check and I was able to report cloud base at 1,600' - which just happened the be launch height.  After a couple of hours the cloud base got lower and it was time to put the toys away - besides there's a limit to how many 5 or 6 minute flights one wants to take.  A modest 11 launches.
