Another day with fabulous weather as the summer continues. Endless blue skies winds relatively light from the NE although at flying heights this was around 15knots from the east. Thermals were available from the first to last flight.

With One Day Course Candidate Roger Tackley, air experience visitor Les Braund, visiting glider pilot Mike Brown from Dalton, and several club members requiring training, check flights etc. and some delay while the rear wheel and tyre was changed half way through the afternoon, there was a lot of pressure on the K13 today. But in true DGS style everyone took the inevitable delays with good nature. Many thanks everyone.

There was lots of soaring. Best flight was Phil Hardwick in the Astir who soared for 2 hours 28 minutes to 3900 feet. Even the busy K13 managed several flights in the 20 to 30 minutes range with instructors Ged and
Steve maximising it’s use. The last flight of the day was at 6:30 and it was still very soarable.
Next week Duty Instructor will be Bob Pirie who is returning from his self imposed exile in Portugal.
