It was an amazing day of achievement which concluded with 2 first 300km Diamond Goal flights by James Francis (Cirrus - it was only James' second flight on type!) and Simon Urry (Mosquito), 1 first 500km Diamond Distance by Tim Davies (ASW-27) and an outstanding 750km flight by Tom Smith (LS8-15m)! So Tibenham has a new Fantastic Four - with a new motto: "Younger...Faster...Further!"

Well Done guys.

The forecast said it would be fabulous west of East Anglia, and those who went for it were rewarded with excellent conditions once they got past Newmarket. The conditions locally were soarable but by no means special with broken thermals that were difficult to centre (pretty much as RASP, etc. suggested). In addition to the Fantastic 4, Dave Taylor flew to Bedford and back, and Will Day landed back early at 2pm to let his syndicate partner, John Kinley, have the Vega only to find he had gone soaring with me in T12 - Doh! Others out included Jenny, Andrew H, Ben H, Jo Hoy, Ben M and sveral others plus the duty crew; Andy V (Full Cat), Steve F-H (Basic) and Steve Cat flying the tug who kept everything running smothly.
