Winter flying

A chilly start to the day, but this didn't put off the brave souls who turned up to fly. We spent some time rigging the K21 after its trip back from Sutton Bank, then a few hours flying before canopy misting stopped play about 3.30pm.

New member Allen Merrilees, and David Allen who usually flies midweek, both got some flying in with Jan towards the end of the day. Ray flew with a chap who came for an air experience flight to celebrate his 50th Birthday today. Ray then kindly went down to the winch for a couple of hours. Bob completed his year3 instructor checks with Mark, and later found time to fly with Ian in the motorglider (yes its back on line!!!).

Other members who flew were Jenny, Brian McClean, Berkeley, Tim H, Geoff and Art.
