Teamwork, Tows and Terrific Times

 
Dave G ready for some towing...it's a piece of CEKE!

A fantastic bright winters day and there was a good mix of flying to be had. I completed Lee's Year 3 Instructor Check in DDB. Meanwhile Tim D flew with Bob K in HVQ, Bob flying solo later and making a lovely landing. Jane organised getting the K8 out and it proved to be the most popular glider on the field completing 12 flights with Jane, Gail, Terry, Clive, Derrick, Robin (who also did some Falke-ing) and Tim all taking trips in her. I continued in DDB with Peter B completing his SGC BI acceptance and AFR, Dave S spin Cx to complete his AFR and flew 2 A/Ts with Clive S to work on his BI patter prep. Derrick and Dave also flew the G109 for a trip round the Cotswolds.


At the end of flying the team rig DVX

After flying the team all pitched in to help Colin rig DVX and switch round some aircraft in the workshop  and derig the K21 for its annual. Special thanks must go to Kath who drove the winch all day. We than retired to the bar for a well deserved beer!


And the K21 is de-rigged for its ARC inspection
