A busy Saturday, with 12 aerotows completed by 1pm and the winch came out after lunch.
There were a number of long flights noteably Roger and Sheila Davies in their DG1000 flew to Edgehill and back (370km), both Ian and Pete Ryland flew 200km, Phil Sillet soared his DG300 for over 2:30hrs without electrics, Norman flew to Ridgwell Then onto the Orwell Bridge between Ipswich and Fleixstowe then back to Tib "a lovely flight to parts of East Anglia that I don't normally visit." Whilst Tim Davies raced to Ridgewell O/R, Ray flew his Nimbus 2 and Ben Magnani flew his Libelle for the first time this year now its back on line. Art and Geoff took a winch launch in the Grob 103 and were airborne 1hr17 - I told you the Grob soared well! Jenny had a nice flight with Tim in the K13, Harley started work on his cable break training, Gary flew to Watton for a cup of tea and admire the RAF kit, then aerotowed back again, Mark even got a chance to fly his 27 towards the end of the day.
Stats: 20 aerotows, 10 winch launches, average flight time was over 1hr!!!
Thanks to Mark and his duty team for an excellent days flying.
