Dartmoor Gliding News – Saturday 17th August 2013

With a dire weather forecast giving strong winds and heavy rain it was not really surprising that the club was quiet today. As it turned out the bad weather didn’t arrive until late morning and at one point we were trying to enthuse those members that had attended to get out a glider for an hour or so but today most people had different targets and tasks in mind.

Rick Wiles was working on the GusLaunch winch moving it ever closer to it’s engine refit. John Bolt and Colin Boyd continued with the K8. This aircraft is almost ready to fly, the outstanding jobs list can now be count on one hand.

In the clubhouse, Don was briefing David Parker on his Nav Ex. Rick came in to practise his patter for BI using the simulator supported by Don and myself. He is making progress with this.

The day finished with the customary beer and banter.
