It took a while to trigger but over 4 hours soaring was available, the blue thermals working up to about 4500ft, Alan L took a trip in his DG down to Broadway, Mick F in his Discus turned Shipston, I took a winch launch into the blue and managed to get away to complete 3hr 23mins local soaring - I managed to find our house at Mollington! Had a great flight, working my around the recently modified airspace around Gaydon, flying with buzzards. There seemed to be a lot of field fires lit to help extend the soaring opportunities.
Eric and Andy L were flying their K6, Martyn Wells flying his LS8 321, Trish L in their DG, John L-C in his DG800, Dave S in his Nimbus3. Phil B had some soaring in the club's Astir, Bob also flew it later. Dave P completed his AFR with a spinning trip with Ian, and Lucy took the hangar flight with Ian to finish the day.
DW and Clive took a flight in the falke to HB for a cup of tea.
Prospective new member Dave Taylor flew with Tim D, Tim was later seen hosing the glider down!!
Thanks to the duty team Derrick S, Ian A, Paul F and tuggy Dave G.
