Sunday 17th February

Once again at the start of the day the airfield was encased in mist and the the sad crew that assembled in the clubhouse was convinced it wasn't going to clear. But clear it did and around mid-day we dragged a K13 and PW6 down to the west of the cross runway (every instructors favourite spot). I think everyone that wanted to fly had a couple of flights in the sunshine, one or two even did a bit of soaring.The afternoon's flying was enlivened by the air ambulance flying into an incident at the Moto-cross in the adjoining field - we hope the casualty makes a good recovery.
Foot note: This was our adopted aussie Paul Mather's last flight in he UK for a while as he is returning to Oz for a period. As a great pilot and outstanding club member we wish him bon-voyage. Hopefully he will soon get bored with wall-to-wall sunshine and10 knot thermals and return to a country with proper weather.
