I arrived at the airfield and Hugh & Mike were already hard at work
changing ends ready to fly. The weather forecast was for moderate westerly winds
and turning to possible showers as the day progressed. After the morning
briefing Colin Boyd arrived, so it was decided to derig DMX so he could start
the C of A.
Robin Wilson was first in the K13. The first flight was a simulated cable
break followed by a second real cable break. Both were well flown and Robin
should soon be back solo. Next up was returning member Ian Woolley who continued
to polish up his general flying skills.

Flying was interrupted by a passing shower where we sheltered in the launch
hut and had lunch.

Between showers Bob Sansom flew the K13 with me for 17 minutes. Also Steve
Fletcher took a break from his filing in the clubhouse and flew the K8 for the
longest flight of the day of 22 minutes.

Hugh Gasgoyne also flew the K8. The last flight before more rain arrived was
Dave Downton who continued to hopefully regain his solo wings.
Thanks must go to John Smith who spent time in the hangar helping Colin, but
did not fly due to the rain arriving. Also to Mike & Phil for winching,
Malcom for retrieving and not flying. Hopefully better weather at the weekend
and next Wednesday.
