Wednesday 9th January 2013

The forecast showed an area of settled weather between the seeming endless frontal systems. Interesting. I left home in Plymouth in thick fog. Oh no!. The fog continued all the way through to Tavistock and beyond until the final hill before the club when I burst out into beautiful sunshine. Hurray!!

It would seem almost rude not to fly on a day like this. Despite the very wet airfield, that is exactly what we did. After a test flight for the newly returned G-DDMX, the hardly few stalwarts were treated to a chance to have a check ride with today’s instructor Ged followed by some solo flying in the K8 G-DDWG.

Although, it was circuits only today, everyone had fun in the beautifully smooth air.

A good day
