Saturday 14th July 2012

After all the recent rain the airfield looks like a lake in places. But the cloudbase was rising and there was some gaps appearing in the overcast so gliders out and on with the fun.

The flying today really centred around training and practice. There were a few cable breaks following a mechanical failure but these just added another aspect to the training. Will Wilson introduced some of the close members of his family to gliding.

The Wilson family and K13.
Good news today about our local Danger Area D011. After the lobbying of the military, the BGA Airspace Committee and the CAA ( or should that be NATS? ) by CFI Don, the danger area will be split into three parts, two of which will only be activated by NOTAM when required instead of the whole area being listed as active Monday to Friday. Well done Don.
