The day started with low cloud and rain, the 17 UWE students spent the morning in the safety breifing, testing the simulator and checking out the hanger.
We eventually convinced ourselves it was clearing and took the gliders to the launch point and waited, the first launch released at 400ft ( cloudbase) so Paul's Gentil and Lazenby continued to test it until their third flight a gap apeared and they continued to 1600ft.
We continued to fly the students until the gaps got to small to get through eventualy packing the hanger and de-rigging HXJ for its annual around 1700hrs.
Most of the students flew although some only got to 400ft, and as is always the way as soon as the hanger doors were closed the clouds vanishished.
