Saturday 1st October 2011

Blue sky, light SSE winds and forecast temperatures in the high 20’s. This made for a very pleasant day indeed. Unfortunately, there was also a strong inversion and this coupled with very high atmospheric pressure effectively put the lid any thermal development.

A busy day with a full air experience diary which was handled in exemplary fashion by BI Mike Sloggett. Thanks Mike.

Don was kept busy fulfilling the members training requirements but still managed to find time at the end of the day to have a few flights with Sean and myself as a last work up for our final instructor tests which are scheduled for tomorrow.

Congratulations to Sandra who was signed off as a winch driver after an intensive period of training. Discussions are now underway about curtains and flowers for the winch. I think Sandra is winding us up (again).

One happy new winch driver ( with dodgy looking gloves )
