Hardly anyone around yesterday, but Geddes, Phil and Roger all took advantage of a rare appearance of the winch and Billy somehow eked out an hour from a single thermal in 354.
Today was MUCH better when it finally got going in the late morning, with half a dozen flights of 2 hours or more, though no-one got too far as there were big blue holes around, particularly down the Spey valley. John reports the sky was still working when he finally forced the Junior out of the sky at 6 pm. Some bumpy but powerful thermals around, and a feeling of rotor sometimes but no sign of wave for anyone. Cloudbase was between 4000 and 4200 feet, so maybe not enough to get into the high country to the south. Andy Vidion, visiting from Norfolk for the flying week, got more time in today than he did in the whole week last year!


And we entertained some guests from Lossiemouth, including a French crew over here on Joint Warrior exercises.


Roll on the rest of the flying week!
