who came out for a fix. I hadn'tThe day dawned cold but sunny, and to my surprise we had a few organised another tuggie, so I took a couple of aspirins and tried to climb in! To my surprise the back felt much better for moving about a bit. Just as I was trying to start the engine, Garry Speight turned up and offered to fly it for me so that I could fly a glider.
Garry launched Trevor West and Bob Emery but by the time I had the Mozzie ready, the sky was had overclouded and Trevor and Bob were back on the ground. Neverless I took a launch as the glider had to be test flown after its form 2. Only found one patch of reduced sink, but of course I would have soared all afternoon if I had remembered to put the wheel away!
Trevor had the longest flight on the shortest day - 22 minutes from a 2000 ft launch. He must have found something apart from mushrooms.
After flying we had another barbecue, which turned into a birthday party, complete with cake, presents and silly hats. Vic Hatfield, Geoff Sim and Sandra Mitchell also attended. Presents included Japanese beer coasters, Deep Heat (very useful), some choccies and a bottle of red wrapped in an ERC Low. Very original
