Saturday 23rd April 2011

A warm day with clear blue sky and a fresh NW wind. The forecast for isolated thunderstorms later suggested strong convection.

In the event, sea air swept in from the north coast, more than 20 miles away, before the thermals could establish.

A pleasant day at the launch point made all the more so by Steve, Dave and Tony who were paying us a visit from their home club at RNAS Culdrose. They brought a very well presented Mini Nimbus with them but even this could not find any soarable conditions. Perhaps though, it is only a Cornishman who could fly an glider with the registration “EER “.

 Many thanks again to Martin and John who spent the whole day working in the hangar on the club aircraft, and to "Scratch" for his day long winch driving.
