The tail end of storm Gareth Has left us with a very strong southerly wind accompanied by lowering cloudbases, frequent showers and some drizzle. Today the runway was not a nice place to be although some efforts were made to work on the water flow around the sump area.

In the hangar Colin continued work on the Zugvogel C of A with some wood repairs to one of the wingtips; exacting, delicate work requiring not a little skill.

In the club house we were in for a treat. Scratch had brought his mighty computer (£2500+) to demonstrate a photorealistic glider simulation viewed using a 3D Occulous Rift headset. The effect was amazing, you could even look over the side of the aircraft at the ground or look around towards the tail. Thanks for that Scratch.

As most of the day we were in the clubhouse it was decided that we needed another treat. This was one of the diet busting variety.
