There was a break in the weather with a clear sky. Off went the day’s optimists for some flying in what started as a promising
day. What a hardy bunch.

| Off to the launch point for some fun |
The forecast was for a change in conditions in the
afternoon with rain predicted so we hurried as much possible and the first launch was away at 11 am with Stephen
Fletcher taking to the air with Ged.

Currency and training flights kept Ged
busy through the morning and an opportunity taken for IFP rear seat practice by
Steve Raine. Everyone managed to get into the air before the heavy afternoon
rain came as predicted around 3pm scattering a number of rainbows across the
moors.

The view south towards Plymouth.
The sun is shining on the Tamar estuary at Plymouth and Whitsand Bay beyond |
When the rained passed through the day finished with a hangar flight
by Allan Holland and the glider was then washed and put away ready for its next
outing.
 |
| The showers were easily visible from the air. |
Thanks to Scratch and Steve for the winching.
A very enjoyable
day.
Thanks to all.
