Sunday 1st July 2012

At last the weather improved- albeit briefly.

Aircraft were out and prepared early to make the most of a half-decent day's forecast. Check flights and training flights filled most of the day. It was good to be able to welcome Val (unpronounceable-surname) who is hoping to learn to fly with us. Martin Cropper kindly gave him the correct treatment with a 40 minute flight for his trial lesson. He stayed all day to help out and finished with a couple more flights with Martin.

The weather started off nicely with a brisk headwind and good soarable conditions. However, the day over-developed, occasionally recycling but the wind unexpectedly backed to a 90 degree cross-wind making approaches a little more challenging later in the day. Even so, it was very nice to actually go flying.
