Dodge the showers...

Andy V and myself ran the day, the weather was slow to break but we eventually saw some blue sky at 2:30pm.   Volunteers who had been hanging around all day for the chance of a flight, sprang into action to get the winch out, the G103 DI'd and taken out to the launchpoint. 
We manged to squeeze in a few flights before the heavens opened again and it was the long walk back to the hangar. 
Typical luck as soon as everything was away the sun came out again!  Too late to launch the fleet, so we all went for the needed warm cup of tea.
Weatherton forecast was foggy with rain along at about 11am, with about 1 hour clearance about 3pm - he was right again, but forgot to tell us about the 2nd clearance at 4:30pm.
