The early morning start was made against a backdrop of blue skies and frost covered grass. There were snow showers in the area which could be seen passing to the east and west but the airfield remained sunny all day.
Today was very goood for training with endless visability and the NW 7 knot cross wind adding a liitle challenge for the many training flights undertaken.
Sandra continues her progress towards solo, Steve Bloomer re-soloed after a successful check flight and Alan, a new temporary member, took full advantage of the facilities and put 7 very effective training flights in his logbook.
The afternoon was punctuated by a visit from Roger our ex CFI complete with a jounalist from the Tavistock Times who are covering the handing over of Roger's CFI duties to Don after 14 years on the job.
As for myself, I had the surreal experience of turning finals in a snow shower only to land on the airfield in the sunshine just a few hunderd metres away.
The hangar was repacked as the sun went down but activity continued well into the evening with the committee burning the midnight oil ( well diesel in the generator actually ).
