Today was a challenging day for everyone but not because the weather conditions were particularly tough but because there was so much else going on on the airfield.
There was a group, lead by John Bolt and Martin Smith, continuing with the airworthiness project. In particular, BVB is receiving a lot of fettling. Many thanks to all those involved.
A second group were de-rigging aircraft, installing them onto trailers, testing trailer brakes and lights in preparation for the trip to the Black Mountains Gliding Club at Talgarth where a group of DGS pilots are headed on an expedition all next week. We should get daily information from this group as the week develops. Watch this space.
The final, somewhat depleted group were the people actually flying. Don did a sterling job keeping everything going. The day became soarable later on with most pilots managing some soaring including one of our Culdrose neighbours flying his Mini Nimbus G-EEER. Simon tree complete his 1st solo flight - very well done
There was obviously one event that I missed but Bob Pirie ( of Wednesday fame ) sent this note
“Colin Boyd lost an argument with a bolt (not John Bolt!) in the roof of his trailer, which turned his flowing silver locks bright red - and necessitated the application of EASA-approved glue to his scalp in the casualty dept.of his local hospital. (Spoke to him last night and he's OK now.)”
Thanks everyone for the good humour on this busy day.
Steve
