A welcome break in the weather brightened the spirits of the few who turned up to a still very soggy and boggy airfield today. With a northerly wind that would veer during the day all were hoping for the possibility of some wave flying.
The early signs were good with the first flight of the day in DMX clocking up sixteen minutes so the K8 and the Zugvogel were trundled out in anticipation of epic flying conditions. But alas! As is often the case that was as good as it was going to get. Despite valiant efforts to connect with whatever was up there those two hour cross country endorsement flights never materialized.

That said just getting back into the cockpit and being airborne again after Christmas/work commitments/illness/awful weather [delete where necessary] blew the cobwebs away allowing the pilots to keep current and generally enjoy the thrill of flying.

Sterling work as ever from Phil Hardwick and Roger Green in the winch kept the day flowing while much tinkering [and possibly some industrial language] came from Colin and David in the hanger.
Many thanks for everybody's efforts in what at the moment seems to be a rare flying day at DGS.
