Monday 10th September

After getting a green tractor endorsement in the morning and doing some slashing, we started the Form 2 on the Puchatek. I had to keep stopping work to tow people up - what a trial! When they came down again we grabbed them to help us take the wings off. So far so good!

Vic Hatfield took John Peberdy, a Dash 8 pilot, for a flight in the Grob 103. They were up for 1 hour 40 minutes, and went cross country - not sure exactly where. John appeared to be hooked!

Vic took another (lapsed) glider pilot visitor for a flight, but he had used up all the thermals in the first one.

They day shut down surprisingly early as a front approached, and Harry Medlicott got caught out and had to start his motor to be sure of getting home.
