Another chilly clear night with a sunny start to the day. Conditions in the air were not as great as we'd have hoped due to the high pressure and it was a bit of a pea souper. It was noticeable that most of those who flew elected not to fly again due to the very poor visibility. At the worst time of the day, Trish in the DG said that she chose to stop climbing at 1600ft due to the vis, and that not only could you not see Banbury, you couldn't see Tysoe!

Gail & Rowan flew with Trial lessons, and Alistair, Leslie, Dave P and Tess flew in CCC. John R flew EPU, and Phil took JYR for an aerotow, neither choosing to stay airborne very long. Later in the day, Alan L had the longest flight of about an hour in HMB, later in the day when the vis began to improve. From the ground we saw the last flight of the Vulcan in the distance, as it transited over Gaydon - Clive got some decent photos which he's posted on Facebook.
