Tuesday 24 July



Another booming day – there have been several in this hot July. Graham P. did 500km ( Sleaford, Silverstone,Whittington) in 4.5 hours, Steve did 312km, reaching 6000ft near Cambridge. Alan and Trish went west, but found conditions weaker, so only did an hour and a half. Al took DVX  cross-country. Gail, Robin and I stayed local, where cloud base was around 4000ft, with strong climbs. There were still 4kt thermals around at 6.00pm
Caroline, returning to gliding after a break of some decades, did a one day course with our guest instructor for this week, Graham W.  Clive did three trial lessons, all of them getting good soaring flights.   


Clive briefs Ivan before his hour-long Air Ex flight. 



The Shenington ASW15 fleet gets ready.
