Saturday 12th May 2012.

A sunny day with a biting northerly wind. The RASP soaring forecast suggested that this would be a good day, and that is exactly how it turned out.

It became soarable from fairly early in the morning and this continued all the way through to the early evening.
The clouds mark the early morning thermals.
The conditions were quite inviting and this led to the 2 Astirs, the Open Cirrus and the ASW20 making an appearance. All the pilots made good use of their aircraft most managing long extended local soaring flights.

The training tasks were undertaken by Don and I was kept busy all day with a long list of Air Experience visitors, all of whom went away with smiles on their faces after experiencing soaring flights for the first time.

The day closed once again with a Committee meeting.

Another good day.
