Today saw Brentor sitting in a strong southern airflow full of showers. The showers could be easily seen all around the area all through the day managed to miss the airfield until early evening.
Although Bob Pirie was absent today there was plenty of instructor cover, In fact you could hardly turn around without tripping over an instructor. Great stuff.
A mix of training, air experience flying, and check flights kept things busy. Even with the very strong southerly wind and low cloudbase most flights had a little soaring element.
Ged Nevisky spent the day with DCFI Mark doing his site acceptance checks to finalise his instructor rating.
Bob spent the day winch training new drivers on the “Guslaunch” winch. Thanks Bob.
The evening started with a visit from the South Zeal scouts for an Air Experience evening. Lots of excitement and expectation; first glider launched complete with scout and;------ it rained. The showers that had missed us all day finally arrived and as the cloudbase lowered dramatically flying was regretfully cancelled. We hope to reschedule the visit soon.
Steve
