Sat 27th Sept - Into The Blue...
The fog burned off quickly this morning. All the club kit came out and several private owners rigged. We were again winching, but despite virtually no wind 'The Wildcat' provided excellent launches and most pilots got high launches and some soaring from a day that remained blue throughout. The longest flight was over 2 hours. One or two had planned X/Cs but the gloopy vis discouraged most and only Bob got round a TP before deciding against venturing further away. It was also good to see a number of young members out at the launch point. The club had a flag presentation from RAF & USAF representatives in memory of those who served at Tibenham during WWII on the the day that was the 64th anniversary of the 445th Bombardment Group's most notorious mission - the Kassel Mission of 27 September 1944.
