Saturday 27th November 2011

The forecast winds of 15 knots gusting 30  from the southwest looked like making this a difficult day but the actual winds were somewhat less than this.

It was nice to see so many members taking check flights or solo flights to keep their flying currency. The south westerly wind teased the pilots with areas of reduced sink on the south side of the airfield ( ridge lift ?? ) but the best flight of the day only just about got to double figure minutes. Good efforts though.

Elsewhere on the airfield, the Pirat refurbishment continues with the centre wing panel being fitted with new aileron cables. Tony Thorn and Ged repaired low range gear shift on the grey Discovery and it was back in service by lunchtime. Well done everyone and many thanks.
