Grey and overcast, but not a huge amount of wind, certainly not 15 gusting 25 as forecast!
We had a busy day today with 15 aerotows, some of them to a great height! We had intended to winch launch, but just as we were about to hook on the rope for the first launch, we discovered that the "new" Puchatek does not have a belly hook! Very embarrassing, but fortunately the pilots concerned had a laugh about it. The twin astir proved to be the only two seat glider capable or being winch launched, and we had four student pilots plus Matthew Minter wanting to fly it We gave up on winching today and aerotowed instead!
After the flying, Robyn Gostelow cooked everyone a roast pork dinner, which was great.
Next exciting installment tomorrow!
