Light north-westerly wind, and the airfield beginning to dry out. Cloud at about 3000ft to start, but heavy overcast at 800ft by the end of the day. The wave teased us all day, and needless to say it was working well as the sun went down.
A big vote of thanks to Barry, Heather, David and Martin who worked hard all day to make it a success for newer trainees .Not only did Barry spend the entire day on the winch, but he started by painting the club house door, and Heather vacuumed the clubhouse before driving the cable retrieve truck!!
Well done to Nigel Williamson and Matthew Mackay for going solo, to Jacob who now has as many launch failures in the K8 as normal flights.
The day was completed with Marta demonstrating how many different ways you could overstress a K8---thankfully it was on the simulator.
