Wednesday 30 January


I flew an AEF passenger in the Grob and was the first to launch at 13:10. It was soarable but there were large areas of sink. Later on Jim Staniforth flew his nimbus 3 to Kaputar and back, and John Hoye flew the LS7. John Wakefield came out and flew the Jantar IZV. For once he managed to fly a glider without being collared to maintenance on a plane or a glider. He couldn't help himself after landing - he had to do the lock-wiring of the the wing bolts on the Puchatek.

After that we retired to the clubhouse for a beer - even Boris. Under John Wakefield's instruction he's starting to become a real Aussie!
