In a roundabout way Bob, our Wednesday instructor, let us down today. Usually when Bob goes on holiday the weather becomes instantly brilliant. Well Bob is on holiday and the weather - - - - - was hopeless. Low cloud and drizzle giving way to long periods of rain.
Was the day wasted? No, not a bit of it. The assembled members demonstrated great team spirit as they tidied up the wood store and prepared more scrap metal to be recycled into razor blades or something ( this raised another £80 for the tea fund ) amid the usual jokes and banter.
Afterwards, it was back to the clubhouse for coffee and lectures. The discussion today centred around preparing for flight i.e. getting the weather forecasts and NOTAMs. Interestingly, although the discussion was directed by Don, the computer work and explanations of the printouts were given by Mike Gadd, one of our up and coming pilots.
