Dartmoor Gliding News-Wednesday 11th February 2015

The wind today was light southerly, with 8/8ths cloud cover at about 1300 feet above the airfield (QFE). You could be forgiven thinking that this was going to be a grey, boring day. But not a bit of it with CFI Don Puttock on the job.

John Rogers and Don ready to go
Don set out to ensure that all the members flying today improved their skills with carefully planned flights with him in K13 G-CHXP. Viewing from the ground we were treated to watch exercises ranging from circuits and approaches, stalling and spinning, energy dumping, out of position, ground effect etc.etc. Phew!

HXP takes to the air again
Everyone who wanted to fly did so and all seemed to be happy with their efforts.

Returning to the clubhouse another treat was in store. The glass in the wood burner's door has be replaced and we wasted no time in trying it out.

The woodburner complete with new glass
A good day.
