If not at the club you definitely won’t fly, but those who made the trip and had a positive outlook were rewarded with flights of between 11-23 minutes . A result for winter flying!
The day was made possible thanks to Peter Smith’s short motivational morning briefing highlighting the weather forecast. Reading between the lines my interpretation was “get your skates on and let’s get flying, it could be over fairly soon”
Ever ready Alan prepared the EuroFox and provided 10 tows for the keen Wednesday team, varying in height between 1500-3000ft
Depending on the time you launched, dictated if it was completely blue skies or the tug and glider picked its way through the lowering cloudbase to the best location for release.
The last flight was just before 1pm. All the kit was then washed , put away and plugged in.
Shortly after that Vicky as always managed to feed everyone that wanted food.
Great teamwork everyone.
(PS – Ashley Thomas and Dave Perriam always finding extra work to do for the club had a strop in the morning! … actually they made about ten new strops between them. (For launching the gliders ) Hopefully that might get us through a few days of annual checks as the weather improves 👍)
A good day for all. – Rich Roberts
