Saturday 11th September 2010

Well if you believed the forecasts you wouldn't have bothered turning up ! BBC said Cr+p, ITV said Cr+P & Even Lakenheath (who had all the trial flights booked up for the day ! ) Declared that it would rain solidly from 11;00 solidly until 15;00 with gests to 30 mph - So cancelled their day ). We flew all day (without any rain ! ) from about 10;30, with a constant wind (about 13kt ) not far off being straight down the main runway.

Andy Smith had a currency check ! ( No Euros in his Paul Wilkinson completed his BI checks for the year, Emily Rusbridge learnt that we do have instructors who when you say " I can't do it . Please take over ?" will not take over , Well done Emms you tried to use it on our number one bastard today ! Didn't work, Did it ?

Big News is that Lauren managed to convert to solo flight on the winch !


Lauren about to go !

Lauren going up the "wire" on her first solo winch launch !

The " Cheshire Cat" is back again ! Well done Loz !

The"Smiths " had a trip round the bay !

But not before they had a quick round of " Simple Simon says", (Put your hand on your head !)

Thanks to loads of people who helped us fly without flying themselves. Pip, Chris, JK, Berkely et al . Sorry if I missed some out ! Lizzie was ace at breakfast !

Chin Chin !
