Dartmoor Gliding News – Wednesday 2nd October 2013

The cloudbase today never really got above 500 feet. Bit of a problem as the airfield is at 820 feet. So not a flying day.

The usual suspects got on with work around the airfield. Steve Raine spent the day mowing, Phil disappeared into the fog with the fencing kit. The was a group, led by John Bolt in the workshop starting the work on the “new” K7M G-DCLT.

 Other news today is that there will shortly be another private glider coming to the airfield. The uniquely modified Skylark 3B complete with winglets and a modified canopy / cockpit. Owner Sean Parramore has already spent a couple of hours flying it from Aston Down.

The weather for Saturday is looking better.
