Winds 135/10 with heavy showers and overdevelopment forecast later. Cloudbase 2800 QFE.
Hans, our German guest led the way with a blistering climb in the K13. I dont know why, but I had pictures of those Magnificent men in their flying machines flash through my mind as we steadily climbed at 6 knots up to cloudbase.
Clive (our kid) followed suit in his K6, but was sensible enough to land before the rain started.
We just got the gliders away before the really heavy rain arrived, April showers---you are not joking.
