Dartmoor Gliding News-Saturday 28th November 2015

Strong winds, rain and low cloud once again made this a non flying day as the Jetstream drives in front after front and some impressive low pressure areas. The next one is storm Clodagh due Sunday, Monday. It will bring extreme conditions to the north of the country. A good animation of the Jetstream forecast is available at http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=jetstream. A link to this exists on our website at http://www.dartmoorgliding.co.uk/html/rasp_forecast.html.

The Jetsream laying across the UK this morning
David and Rick were busy through the day working on the charging system on the small tractor which has been playing up for some time. They were working on it in the hangar but with the doors closed it had the forbidding look of an industrial hell, mostly dark with a pool of light where they were working.

An industrial Hades? David and Rick working on the small tractor.
We welcomed Treasurer Steve Raines' friends from Guildford who had a good look around and made much use of the simulator assisted by Colin Boyd

Concentrating on the Simulator. 

Today’s Committee meeting was brought forward and all items of business were complete before 5pm. Excellent.
