Another change in the weather today. The air was a little cooler and the somewhat lower pressure allowed for a nicely unstable day. Ideal for thermals ( and showers but they stayed away ).

Ged was the instructor today and he selflessly agreed to fly my air ex flights for me so that I could work with John to get the CofA and ARC renewal done on my Jantar which has finally had it’s new canopy fitted. Thanks Ged and John.

The Green Party with the Foka 5 
News of the day was the appearance on the father and son, Barry and Roger Green with their “new” Foka 5 in it’s purpose built trailer . This glider will be parked at Brentor to give them a base here. The also have an ASW20L based at Aston Down. Instructor Ged managed to find a gap in his day to have a flight in the Foka to add a new type to his tally.

Never one to miss a chance, Ged prepares to add the Foka 5 to his logbook.
It was nice to see Bob and Martin out in their ASW20F. Best flight of the day was 1 hour 19 minutes by Junior Matthew Wiles in the SF27.

Matthew trying to look modest.
