Pilots flying today were Graham Holland in Jantar IZT, Harry Medlicott in Ventus KRJ, John Clark in Jantar IZV and Matthew Minter, who flew a friend in the Grob Twin ll.
There was a brisk southerly wind, but it was straight down the runway. The clouds looked excellent. We launched from runway 14. I towed all the gliders up into a thermal, and none of them came back again, so I refuelled the tug and put it away.
Harry Medlicott reported that he flew down to Quirindi, but nearly landed due to the cool strong southerly wind that pushed in down that was, causing a large area of blue. He survived however, and made it back to the clouds where conditions were better. John Clark took things cautiously after hearing about Harry's problems and stayed fairly local, while experimenting with Jantar flying. Not sure where Graham Holland went, but he had a good long soaring flight. Matthew had over an hour with his friend in the Grob.
Work on the new hangars has been progressing.
