The day started with lots of cloud cover and a light breeze from the south. It was still warm enough for tee shirts and shorts though and with a clearance forecast for 1pm lets go flying.
The day started early with David Jesty flying his flight acceptance checks with DCFI Mark Courtney. He surmounted this final hurdle and is now a qualified Assistant Category Instructor – very well done.
At the same time the multi-talented Vice Chairman, Safety Officer and Basic Instructor Ged Nevisky completed his Assistant Category Instructor course with CFI Don Puttock. Just the site acceptance test to do to complete his Instructor Rating.
The clearance did come early afternoon and the members took advantage of the thermals that were on offer.
Most notable of the afternoon flights was Phil Hardwick who has just converted to flying the Zugvogel who managed 39 minutes to complete a bronze leg – way to go Phil.
The evening flying was busy with an air experience group from Babcock Marine who, judging by the smiling faces, had an enjoyable time.
After all the equipment was put away the remaining club members were sat outside the clubhouse sharing a beer and flying stories as the sun went down. What a great day.
