Saturday 2nd March

Well, today's forecast was spot on. At around 9.45, just as promised, the grotty low cloud and mist that had engulfed the airfield cleared and half an hour later we were able to get airborne. The first couple of flights were spectacular - launching to 1,500' we were bathed in sunshine 500' above cloud. Thereafter, the air scouts and UWE students had some interesting flights getting to grips with the strong breeze. John and Andrew on the one day course enjoyed their flights with Eugene in the DG. Many thanks to Craig Mustoe and David Howell for some first-rate winching.
