Sat 21st September

A grey start with low cloud persisting. The morning was spent usefully enough - a K13 and PW6 were rigged, the K13 has a shiny new canopy and the PW6 just returned from the UWE Freshers Fair. The Astir was de-rigged and put in its trailer to go for remedial work on the tailplane attachment points. By lunch time, a winch, bus and K13 were on the runway ready. Sadly the first launch confirmed that the cloudbase was an unworkable 500 feet so it was time for the waiting game. 14:30 hours and the decision was made to pack away, and of course by 16:00 the sky was clear. A useful but frustrating day.
