With the RASP forecast flatlined at 800ft AMSL for the whole day there was little prospect of any flying today. However arriving at the airfield the cloudbase was higher than forecast. When enough people had arrived we started getting ready to fly whilst the weather allowed. However with only two aircraft extricated from the hangar we called a halt as the weather was quickly deteriorating in front of our eyes. We retired to the clubhouse to make plans for the day.
With two new K13’s on site a plan was made to check they had arrived safely and start moving the fleet around as required.

This glider now requires a little DGS TLC to prepare it ready to enter into the fleet.
The old Perranporth K7M that has been hanging in the hangar was lowered to the ground and removed ready for disposal along with the spare wing that had been stored in the hangar.

K8 FXB was also removed from storage and placed in the hangar ready for it’s CofA and ARC in the new year.
Finally the hangar was re-packed and everything tidied away ready to head home.
A lot of good work was done around the club today. Thank you to all who were at the club today.
