Something strange was seen over Brentor Today. Yes, for a short time it was sunny so we
actually got a K13 out of the hangar and flew. If you believe the old wives
tale, were we doing the right thing?

With a small crew gathering and if the weather forecast was going to be right
giving a window of opportunity up to about midday it was action stations to get
the airfield ready. We decided that it would be one flight each so that
everybody would get a chance to fly.

First flight was at 10:12 with Mike Bennett and myself. The rain could
already been seen approaching from the west It was already raining in Cornwall. Three more flights were
achieved with Andy Davey, Martin Cropper and Steve Fletcher. With the rain arriving it was now a quick dash to put the glider away (yes Colin it was
dried off) and clear the airfield.
Back in the clubhouse it was time for teas and coffees to wash down the mince
pirs supplied by Andy. The chairman set about updating the log books whilst we
had our drinks.

Only a few flights, but it was good to actually fly for once. Thank you to
Richard for winching and everone else for the teamwork in running the airfield.
