The weather forecast showed winds 220/15, visibility 30K with some light rain later in the day.

Today was also the second U3A Group day. All six had extended flights in the DG500 with Mike Randle including a former Tornado and Boeing 777 pilot who took the opportunity to do some cloud flying. Afterwards Mike flew with Alan Smith, Lesley's father and former Concorde test pilot who naturally was able to complete the landing in spite of not having flown for 20 years. Lesley observed that there were two Meteor pilots with a combined age of 164 in the cockpit. Picture below.

Many thanks to all the helpers today, the U3A visit would not have worked without your help and mostly to Lesley for organising the successful event.

The course progresses well with 2 pilots now flying "unprompted circuits and landings---very well done.
