After raining all night, the sky cleared and it looked like a reasonable day - however we had tug problems again.
Ian Barraclough stepped in and did the towing this afternoon. Josef Strassl flew the LS7 and visited Gunnedah, and Manilla in his travels. He took the pictures below.
Harry Potts had a nice flight in the LS6. Peter Robinson and I had about an hour in the Puchatek where I tried to teach him to join another glider in a thermal. We also did a bit more on spinning, and varying the bank in turns. After that I sent him solo again, with the expectation that he would have a soaring flight - however a storm was looming close so he decided to land before conditions got exciting - a good call.
The storm passed and after an afternoon tea of fresh bread, Peter went for another two solos, which will give him his A certificate after he has answered the questions.
It is Boris's birthday towmorrow - he will be just 23! Lets hope he will be able to get his feet off the ground!
