Low cloud showers and heavy rain. The volume of water running off the airfield is almost unbelievable.
Junior Peter Clifford was in attendance as keen as ever. He and Stefi Guiu spent the morning with Don working through all sorts of gliding and flying related subjects.

Stefi made good use of the simulator and the assembled instructors to start to learn the art of thermal soaring so that she will be ready as soon as the weather is.

The work on the ML winch continues, The left hand drum air clutch has been replaced with the spare. It appears to be operating correctly and there are no air leaks. This is quite an important step. A new replacement part would have cost in excess of £2200. All of this accomplished in the cold and wet conditions on the hangar apron. Above and beyond the call of duty. Many thanks Allan and Rick.

Tomorrow looks like a better flying day.
