Sunday 4th May

Sunday started sunny and calm, the perfect day for Beth to come out of the hangar. This time we were in the 8 Acre field, Phil Marks in charge with a K13 and the Skylark at the launchpoint.

We had a most excellent start to the day when Phil flew a couple of flights with Glen Evans then sent him solo in DVX. Many congratulations Glen!



Russell & Eric took it in turns to fly BTH with various happy passengers, Alistair Frier flew his shiny K6e - HJD, and the Skylark continued to soar in spite of the usual early release on the winch. 

David Taylor then resoloed after a break from gliding, and Phil put John W through his paces in DVX. Christine took the last flights of the day in the K13 having spent the day as duty tug pilot.

After flying Eric (with various helpers - thanks Jackie & Carol) made a slap up meal of toad in the hole, veggies, mash & gravy for about 16 of us, followed by apple pie and custard.  Then off to the bar to celebrate Glen's first solo.....
