18th September

Quite a busy day today. The weather went from one extreme to the other. Strong wind yesterday with great thermals, light and variable today with weak thermals.

It was possible to soar most of the day, but only to about 4000 ft, though we did get one thermal that made it to about 5000 ft.

Good day for training though, and we squeezed in one passenger flight as well.

Sam Pogson is progressing very well and finished the day with a text-book landing in the Grob 103. Well done Sam.

Roy Worthington and Ian Sawell took turns to fly the Junior, but it was hard to prize Roy off his seat in the tractor! Ian Barraclough flew in the ASH. I swapped with Bruce Clark at the end of the day, - he flew the Grob on the hangar flight and I flew the tug. 14 launches for the day - a most acceptable day's aviation.
