Sat 20th Sept...And The Soaring Continues.

Another sunny day, if rather hazy. SRE Dave Munro started the instructor completion course and Mark Wright ran the day. The First Aid ‘Trauma Course’ was well attended during the morning, after which the thermals started to pop (around 1:30pm again) producing about 3 hours of useful thermals keeping Steve Catermole busy in the tug for the next couple of hours! Several private owners rigged and a number of soaring flights were made with the longest over 2hr 30. Later, in the still evening air the Green Machine (Edgely Optimist) again took flight, but with multiple small electric motors attached as part of a university project experiment, and Derek Piggot again graced the Norfolk skies.
