DGS News – Saturday 20th July 2013

Clear blue sky with a strong breeze from the east. The conditions were somewhat blustery to start with leading to caution with glider handling.

Ged was accompanied by Matt Wiles on the first flight and they found a lot of rotor but managed to stay airborne for 30 minutes until the conditions wore them down and they decided to land.

FAther and daughter team Martin and Angela Stone
 As the day wore on the conditions got easier although some rough patches remained throughout the day. We provided Air Experience flights for Adrian Iles and father and daughter Martin and Angela Stone. We also welcomed visiting glider pilot Dave Khibbs from the Stafford Club.

Ongoing work on K7M GDDAK
Meanwhile in the hangar, the work on the Pirat continues as does the work on the “new” K7M. Also in the hangar today was Martin Smith and his T31 for C of A after which he took several launches with various club members.

Hiding are we?
