The low cloud and drizzle rolled away early in the day, but, unfortunately, as this was happening the wind quickly picked up to the forecast 21knots and beyond. Not only was the wind strong but it was very gusty making just standing on the runway a bit of a challenge at times.

We divided up follow our interests. Steve Raine flew the simulator on a short cross country. John Rogers and Jorg Beasley worked with me on Altimetry and then later on spinning using the simulator.
Allan Holland was in the hangar which was dark and cave like with the doors closed. I had visions of being in a mine whilst watching Allan inspecting the GusLaunch differential. Also working in the hangar was Colin Boyd who was fitted a battery condition monitoring LED in the 2 seaters.

After lunch, we went out onto the airfield to conduct a strop hunt but came back empty handed this time. The afternoon was finished in the clubhouse where the simulator was kept busy.

Bob will be back next week. Perhaps he will bring good weather with him.
