Yesterday we only had around half a dozen flights, but all worthwhile! The sky was showing signs of wave, but not strong, and Colin managed to get above 6,000' in R67. Not a soaring day, really, with quite strong winds pushing the weather, and an occluded front, through. Phil had a couple of instructional flights plus one very delighted TM, whose partner plied her monster camera lens on several phases of the flight and got some great shots.


Today was a flat sky, but with promise of better to come from the forecast. Unfortunately, the better never really did get here, so we rigged 3 gliders - 115, 770 and 354 - that had been down at Portmoak last weekend and got them tucked away. This photo shows the sky around half an hour after we'd packed things away for the day, but again, this was a really short interlude and it was back to solid cloud cover and showers in no time. If only we'd had that for more of the day!
Meantime, Geddes is down in deepest Devon flying in Competition Enterprise and we wish him all the best, flying the flag for Easterton.
