Saturday 8th October 2011

The weather was not all that promising with a heavy looking overcast. But with the westerly wind straight down the runway it was game on.

First launch was to 1400 feet – great. Second launch 700 foot cloudbase –oh dear. Two more launches and it was all over. The cloudbase descended rapidly and the drizzle was only interrupted by frequent showers. So aircraft back to the hangar and members back to the clubhouse for tall stories, tea and sympathy.

From the clubhouse occasionally we could hear the distant rumblings of a tractor. Ged had decided that the airfield was soft enough to benefit  from the roller and spent the rest of the day rolling the runway and tracks. Thanks mate.
