Looking at the weather forecasts it would have been easy to write today off as another non flying day but, a more careful look revealed a short, flyable weather window early in the day. Arriving at the airfield as early as my business commitments would allow revealed that I was not the only club one who thought it might be flyable.

Instructor Ged Nevisky already had a K13 out of the hangar and the few club members present were rushing around getting everything ready and with very little delay we were off to the launchpoint. The weather was already starting to get worse with the southerly crosswind rising quickly.

In the event, we managed a couple of flights in the buoyant air before the rising wind strength and approaching shower associated with the forecast front sent us back to the hangar once more.
Elsewhere, it was a day of deliveries. We received another load of the materials that is being used to repair the track. Ged also delivered a plate compactor, purchased by the tea fund, to make the track repairs more effective.
