Tuesday 23rd August

Another very hot and blue (and windy!) day at the airfield. Gavin was in charge with a couple of course members, with Terry Mc helping out with trial lessons and general instructing. Various club members on holiday rigged their gliders only to find it not massively thermic due to the strong inversion and extreme (for UK!) heat.....John R, Rowan, Phil A and John W all launched but no-one stayed up very long.

Meanwhile back at base Derek W was putting Al & Paul D and myself through the BI course again which made for some very interesting aerotows and winch flights. Charles Birks re-soloed after a break from gliding.

 A big thanks to Alan C for organising the launch point and making sure that everyone flew. Photos from Rowan.
