Norwich Aviation Enthusiasts

A whole day of local enthusiasts to fly, but many did not come out to play until after lunch. The temperatures reached nearly 28degrees C and although there was a slight easterly flow it was still soarable. Mick and myself aided by tuggies Dave Munro and Jim Lawn, with Phil Morgan manning the winch and Mike Bean on the radio, we launched around 10 trial lessons in total. Conditions were a little difficult low down, however at the aerotows did some good soaring with cloudbase getting to about 2500ft. Later there was an aerobatic display by a visiting aircraft and a BBQ followed.

Paul Woodcock flew his new 'french mistress' the Pegase reg "EB". You will not miss him - the glider has luminous pink tips and has been nicknamed 'pinky' by the other club members.

Others out also included Jenny flying her ASW19, and Bob P. doing some ab initio training in the K13 with me, and Ratty took the hangar flight in the K13.
