Dartmoor Gliding News-Wednesday 6th May 2015

Low cloud, windy conditions with very heavy gusts; the weather is not being kind to us, is it?

Arriving late due to work commitments I met a strangely familiar convoy on the single track road to the airfield. It was familiar because it was three car loads of club members going out on a mission to move one of the ex Perranporth gliders from it’s current storage location to a new space provided by Vice Chairman Colin Boyd.

unless it flew there of course

I held the fort at the airfield maintaining the fire in the woodburner and it’s fuel stock. I know that it is May but today was unbelievably cold. My other task was to make sure that the kettle was on when the off site gang returned.
