Saturday 2nd January 2010

The first flying day of the new year was greeted with blue skies, very light winds and a temperature that stayed near freezing all day.

The hangar doors were open  at 8.30am in line with the clubs new year resolution to encourage early starts for the benefit of all club members.

There were plenty of members about to meet and welcome our new Chief Flying Instructor Don Puttock on his first flying day in his new post.

Although conditions were not soarable there was plenty of flying. Experienced pilots were maintaining their currency, the pre solo pilots continued with their training and a few pilots took some advanced training.

The most outstanding flight of the day must have been Sandra flying with Don. The pair managed to fit in 8 simulated cable breaks in one flight. Must be some kind of record.

Also worthy of note were Roger and Barry Green who both managed to get part of their Bronze "C" General Flying Test signed off.
