Thursday 21 February

Not a fantastic soaring day, but Roy Worthington managed 2 1/2 hours in the Junior and David Sieb did an hour and a half in the Grob 103. He must be the first pilot to fly the Grob for the first time solo! He had flown Garry's twin astir before though. He said it was a nice comfortable easy to fly glider - and it is!

I flew with Kurt in the Puchatek. The tug was rather unreliable and kept waggling its wings. The rope kept breaking too. After coping with these emergencies, Kurt went solo for the first time since about 1995. He had done a course here then and done two solo flights, but hadn't done much since.

Well done Kurt.
