The 2nd week of the courses was blessed with fine weather. Some excellent soaring, pleasant sunshine and good company made the week very pleasant.

Mike Bosley quickly re-soloed after a winter’s layoff. Mike, an engineer from South Wales, steadily built his solo time and flying skills in readiness for the bronze C.

Steve Wilkinson was next to go solo, Steve is a semi retired head teacher from Cumbria. To our amazement, Steve arrived in a beautiful Morris 1000 called “Doris”---yes don’t ask.

Patrick Moran was the last one to go solo. Friday morning he got his flying all up together and went on to complete half a dozen solo circuits. Patrick had started his training at Lasham so he had a head start. Patrick, a professional driver went home with a huge grin on his face.

We hope to see the gang back again very soon.
