Wednesday 28 November

Another poor looking day, with a lot of cirrus cover. However there were cumulus under the cirrus and the day proved to be well soarable.

Alan Murdoch took off in the Jantar at 1330, the first launch of the day! 5 and a half hours later he landed having completed his duration flight for silver C. Gen attempted her sliver C distance flight, but the conditions were not quite good enough so she came back to the field.

Roy Worthington flew the LS7 for three hours, and Rod Loder had three and a half hours in the DG400.

I did not get my feet off the ground for once.

We were visited by Justin Wills and his wife Gillian during the day, visitors from New Zealand, and they went off to see Garry in Manilla.

After Alan's marathon effort we all went out for tea to the Royal in Manilla to celebrate, and met Garry and the Will's there!

A good day's flying.
