After the good weather over the last few weeks, with mostly high pressure, it was easy to be fooled into thinking that the Spring/Summer had arrived in good form. Today changed that point of view. The cloud base was very low with constant drizzle. Arriving at the airfield I was amazed to hear the wind roaring through the tress. The wind was an angry snarling thing coming from due south. There was a lot of water running off the airfield which was bone dry only a couple of days ago.

The normal members were in attendance getting as many tasks done as possible. Rick was working on the Guslaunch winch and then worked with Simon Collier on the head tracking devices for the simulator which will eventually give the simulator a 180 degree field of view. Colin was working on the gliders.

After lunch, Rick took advantage of the assembled members to deliver a practice lecture on thermal techniques and safety as part of his instructor training course.
