Probably the last warm autumn day for 2009, we had a light westerly/southwesterly breeze across the airfield. All 4 available 2-seaters plus one Ka8 kept the launch line busy with launch heights improving throughout the day. Some local soaring in thermal and later in weak wave but with cloudbases between 1200 and 1800 feet made for an interesting day. Most launches were going above the base of the 2/8th cu so gliders had to descend before looking for lift! We had the first large batch of students, almost all of whom got 2 flights plus some time in the simulator. Thanks to all the instructors and helpers who kept the day moving along - especially to Robert who sat in the winch all day! Felix chalked up another first by converting to the ka8.
