You just never know what talent is hidden in the most unlikely places. David and Roger set about breakfast. Home cured bacon resting on a bed of twice cooked organic mushrooms , with sausages and herbs, Italian tomatoes and fresh duck eggs fried in olive oil. A pot of fresh ground coffee or Early Grey tea and toasted rolls with home made orange marmalade. All of this in front of a roaring logburner. What a way to start the day!

| a forbidding sky (and a very wet airfield) |
Winds were 230/20 with cumulus building quickly and providing the odd shower.
The new tow out trailer was commissioned under the watchful eye of Colin. David Bourchier arrived and quietly set about more work on the Guslaunch.
Just a few people braved the doubtful weather but enough for training to proceed. They do say “never cancel on a forecast”.

| Even this sky wasn't enough to prevent David and Sam committing Aviation |
David Parker and Sam Deeks had an intensive days flying. David mastered launch failures in very tricky crosswind conditions and Sam learnt to fly the winch launch and land while dealing with the same conditions.
Many thanks to our new chairman Martin for patiently sitting it out in the winch, and Roger for providing much needed ground support.
Well done everyone
Don
