Thursday 18 November

A big thanks to all helping today. My friend Dave Woods managed to propose to his Italian partner via a giant banner pinned to the grass at the side of the runway. She noticed it at about 1,000 feet but only managed to read it once we got down to about 800 feet. The huge love heart mown around it (this photo was taken before it appeared) was the finishing touch. The whole thing was great especially as she had no idea it was going to happen and didn't even know about the glider flight until Dave drove her onto the airfield! They want to thank all involved and reckon we have a great club. They're right of course!

Back in the Flatlands

After a great week in Aboyne duty called on Saturday. The day went very smoothly, once the K21 was back on line, (thanks Stu) and we got through 39 flights. Some trial flights, with Paul Wilco drafted in now he is back from Cologne, and a host of club flying. The sky tried to deliver lift and the gentle wind gave 1300' winch launches. A very pleasant day; thanks to Paul and Mark for instructing and to all who took their turn in the winch, Art, Chris, Ray, Paul G and any I have forgotten.
