Low cloud, mist and occasional rain ( again! ).
The flying start was delayed due to the weather, so on with the lectures for those who needed them. This included Darren Wills who took and passed his Bronze “C” exam. Well done Darren.
There was a brief improvement in the weather so, glider out, and everyone got a chance to practise coping with aborted launches to a 600 foot cloudbase while dealing with the moderate cross wind. Educational.
The weather closed in so, glider back to the hangar and what turned into a lively discussion on polar curves and speed to fly.
The technical team and helpers used to availability of the gliders in the hangar to push forward with the upgrading of BVB – the repaired wingtips and various patches were painted, the painted registration letters removed and replaced with very smart computer cut lettering and DGS branding applied. Thanks once again.
The day finished with a committee meeting planning the purchase of new aircraft which was followed by a barbeque.
