Saturday 5th June 2010

A warm day that started with mist on the airfield which gradually lifted to give a flyable day.

Deputy Chief Flying Instructor, Mark, arrived at the airfield at 7:45am to find that he was not the first. Two members had beaten him to it, hangar doors were open and the setup was underway.

A steady training day with some new visitors. Mark was assisted ably by instructors Martin and Bob.
Andrew Beaumont took advantage of the  conditions to convert to the Zugvogel and had his first 2 flights in this glider type.

We welcomed University student Mathew who is hoping to re-solo with us soon.

The K13 started today with a brand new rear wheel and tyre and finished the day by having the main wheel tyre and inner tube replaced with new ones after a late puncture. It was nice to see the club members working together to change the main wheel on the runway ; not an easy task. Well done everyone.
