Saturday started efficiently, as always with Bruno in charge. Robb Batty had a full day! It began with a short aerotow with Bruno - they had an 'eventuality' over the clubhouse boundary and after a well handled revised circuit, Robb was then sent off for first solo aerotow in DVX. He then followed with another solo in the K8 which turned into his first xc endorsement flight of an hour. After that Robb went down to the winch to get some winch driving training from Eric & Andy L.
David Stead had organised a family group from all over the UK to come and fly, and Bruno & Clive flew multiple times with seven different folks over the morning/early afternoon, having a mixture of short and longer soaring flights. Everyone enjoyed themselves, club members and visitors alike, and the two seaters were kept fully occupied. Later in the day we were joined by Patrick, Witold and Zanna, who all flew in DVX with Bruno. Gary & Tess took the K8 for extended circuits to finish off the day, failing to get away under the encroaching top cover.
Thanks to the duty instructors who didn't have much of a break, and the winch team of Eric, Andy & Robb who worked all day to keep us airborne.You'll also be pleased to hear that hangar packing has got more complicated with the arrival back of CCC! The motorglider has also returned to site so we have DVX stowed down at the clubhouse too.
