The fickle weather played it's part today. The wind was 15 knots westerly. The forecast showed 25+ knots at flying heights. This and the frequent showers passing through the area led to us reluctantly cancelling today's two One Day Courses.

Jamie and Viktor took advantage of the flyable gaps to work on their flying training with Rick, today's Duty Instructor. In fact, Viktor and Rick recorded today's longest flight of 19 minutes as they hitched a lift of the updraughts from the nearby showers.

The day ended with BI Phil Hardwick completing his annual revalidation flights with Rick .

A day when the most used pieces of equipment were the blades used to remove the rain from the gliders.
