What a day!

A poor turnout yesterday, even for a bank holiday, but what a day! The forecast blue certainly was not going to happen but the 25kt wind did. A number of us rigged or prepared to fly. Tim and Chris in the Janus, Paul G. in the Cirrus, Steve B in 20, David in Y11, Pete in BSOM and this writer in FGP. One club two-seater was kept busy all day, landing well after everyone else had finished.

All of us had more than two hours of fun and frolics with some of us completing our declared tasks. The sky was boiling in parts, but that wind, wow! Thanks to Andy for running the day and to the busy tug pilots (Steve and Steve).

Great fun. More please.
