The weather was best described as variable. Showers, some heavy with the wind moving from west to north and the wind gusting from 5 to 20 knots.
Most flights were extended in the buoyant conditions but longer flights were curtailed by the next shower. Longest flight of the day was 45 minutes by Ged and Tony in the Twin Astir. In fact the average flight time for the day was over 17 minutes.
Our visitors today were husband and wife Graham and Judith Harding who both flew with Ged as did our other visitor Kenneth Kendall.

The big news today was that Tony Dean has finally managed to fly the Twin Astir after buying a share many, many months ago. After a couple of familiarisation flights with Ged, Tony flew it solo for a very creditable 42 minutes. Tony was pleased; this was the first time in 34 years that he has flown a glider that he owns ( part owns actually).
