Andrew Bolton and Chris Godding joined us today for the first day of course no 10.

Fresh winds straight down the runway and some huge showers made the day "sporting".

With just 2 on the course for the first 2 days, we were grateful to Chris Power who lent a hand while the course members learnt the procedures.

Eventually the winds reached 35 knots, by which time the PW6 was safely back in the hangar.

The weather is related to the position of the jetstream, even Gerald the crow stayed in the dry. Clever bird.

A chocolate gateaux and briefing tempted us back into the warm and dry.
