Saturday 4th September 2010

With a warm front located just off the north coast, the weather was very unpredictable. The Jantar1 and Open Cirrus both rigged and waited to see what would happen but, in the event, It was mostly cloudy and too stable for much thermal activity.

DCFI Mark Courtney was on site today to help with BI training for Bob and myself.

It was a busy day with lots of training and Air Ex flights. Alan Bamford converted to the K8.

Towards the end of the day there were some challenges presented by the winches but these were overcome by the usual suspects.. The GusLaunch had it’s brakes sorted out ready for tomorrow and the ML winch will have new cables this week.

The day finished in usual style with a gaggle of glider pilots swapping stories outside the clubhouse.
