A super soaring day and Gerald becomes a trainee winch driver Wednesday 3 June
Thanks to Dave, the bus has a new steering wheel. The new one is actually circular---how unusual is that. Chris Power is seen putting the final touches to the temporary windscreen.
The hangar opened at 8.30, and launching started soon after that.
A club day, members were treated to 6 knot plus climbs to 4000ft agl. Pat and Roger kept the club members flying with the DG500 and K13.
The course started with a series of launch failures, thank heavens for the tow out gear, and ended with some great soaring flights.
Some latecomers to the field arrived from the Southwest (Cornwall etc) enjoyed some great soaring and then had a beer or two with us in the bar. Welcome Alan, Roger and Mike.
Unexpectedly Gerald decided to push in and start driving the winch----watch out Dave he might take over!
