Oh dear...October already!! Bad weather stopped play on Saturday, but Sunday dawned fine with light South Westerlies again. We had another day course booked - this time Jordan having a course for his 18th birthday present - and we couldn't have wished for a better day to start.
Russell was duty instructor and put Jordan through his paces all day. Mick F did some air experience flights and the rest of us flew the K8 and otherwise ran the launch point.
It became quite thermic mid afternoon and John Rogers, Gail, Tess, plus Russell & pupil all had good soaring flights though Ian Murdoch got the longest flight in his mosquito. At one point we ran out of gliders & people - here is Shaun who was the only other person left at the launch point once we threw tuggie John R into the air!
CFI Phil did some winch failure appreciation (!) with Dave F from Bidford, and Damien popped in to say hello in his bright yellow Cub.
Mick took Liz for a flight in triple Charlie before we packed up for the day.
Thanks to our winch drivers Mick, Robin & Shaun, and to Dave H, Andy L and Shaun for helping out at the launch point. Nice also to see Colin back from America, and Lucy back from Uni on a 'flying' visit - working hard on the K13 wings in the workshop.
