Long grid of glass gliders and a not too hopeful sky and somehow the DG500 was at the front with Alex Mazzoleni and me doing some cross country training, the grid pilots were getting fractious so we launched and spent the next hour hovering at between 800 and 1500 feet to the east of the airfield, the grid pilots then sunbathed and watched until we moved out of sight (a bit of a ploy), we did though have a great aerial view of the Vulcan doing an impromptu display over and around Kemble. We landed after 3 hours (most of which involved turning) and some of the cross country pilots also returned. The DG did manage an out and return to Edgehill later in the day, Jon Huband did Alton South, Hus Bos for 357km in the Ventus, not sure where everyone else went. A very busy day for trial lessons and club flying.
