Sunday 12th September 2010

The forecast was good, and the flying list for the 2 seater was fully subscribed by 9.15! Thanks everyone for getting the show on the road and keeping things moving.

The winds were a fresh  WNW with thermals from around 11 am. Not as easy as it looked, Trevor needed a relight before getting away----it all depended on the timing of the streets and thermals as they passed through. Another very interesting soaring day, with the Dartmoor ridges kicking off good thermals all day.

The 2 seaters kept going all day, but even then some were disappointed because they couldn't stay long enough to fly. Just one of those days everyone decided to arrive on the same day.

Rumour has it that a new K6 syndicate is about to form around Dave Hooper’s  lovely aircraft. It will be great to see it flying again. I expect that will be followed very closely by Chris Matten et al and the K10.

Lets hope for more classic September weather.
