At 8am it was raining, but for once it did pretty much exactly as forecast. The front cleared through and by nine o'clock the sun was out. A brisk westerly forced us on to the cross-runway but it was soon thermic. As we were doing the first launches some hang gliders passed overheard doing a down wind dash - one hopes they touched down before Felixstowe. Conditions rapidly became very good, the cloud base rising to over 5,500' by mid-afternoon.. The 20 knot wind was challenging but there were some great streets and the visibility was stunning Most people ended up over in Wales where there were some barnstorming conditions. Mike Oliver (and I think Tom Gooch) did Sandhill -Brecon-Knighton, while Jon Huband did Telford-The Park. I suspect Doug did a monster task too. A cracking day.
