Sunday 5th June 2011

With a grey, overcast sky and the occasional rain shower, the weather couldn't have been more different to the day before, but we should be used to the Great British Summer by now. A small but perfectly formed band of merry men and ladies made as much use of the remaining hardware on offer to hone their aviation skills.

With a light north-easterly breeze there was a faint whiff of wave but it never materialized. Marta continued her trek towards the mythical beast they call 'The Solo' while Mike Keller and me took turns in running DMX round the block for some circuit training and some much needed solo flights towards our Bronze legs.

Martin Cropper was kept occupied for an hour or so introducing two new lady members to the joys of flight while Chris Kaminski spent most of the day with his head inside the cockpit of an upside down Zugvogel sorting out a damaged nose skid ably assisted by Alan Carter.

Many thanks to those unsung heroes on the winch, Messrs Ballard, Carter and Cropper for getting us lesser mortals airborne.

A beer and chat in the club house brought the day to a pleasing conclusion.

I must mention that Alan Carter made a special journey to put his Chief Tech skills to use in repairing the Zugvogel skid. THEN he was wisked off to do some winching.
