Saturday 2nd June 2012

A cloudy day with strengthening easterly wind and the forecast gave the arrival of rain later. The only real question was when.

A busy day on the instructing front. G-DBVB was non stop with a One Day Course and three Air Experience candidates. G-DDMX was kept in the air with check flights and other club training. All these flights were progressed a quickly a possible to get as much done before the rain started. As it turned out all the training objectives were met and the gliders were put away before the rain came.

The day was not really soarable but some wave / ridge effects enabled some extended flights. Best of the day was Will Wilson with a 16 minute heroic effort in the K8.

Malcolm takes spring cleaning VERY seriously, even the light fittings did not escape his ministrations

Darren Wills spent a great deal of time training on the winch today. Many thanks. Malcolm ( and wife ) spent a lot of time spring cleaning in the clubhouse as well as continuing his training towards re-establishing his solo status, and providing very welcome bacon sandwiches. Matthew and Rick  finished their day giving the Simulator a controller transplant and some software TLC.

A productive day.
