No flying on Tuesday or Wednesday due to an excessive amount of rain and low cloud. Geoff Sim flew in on Wednesday, amazing us all by diving through a hole in the clag near the dam wall, and flying a circuit under the cloud at about 500 ft. He declined to fly the ASH though!
Kurt and his girlfriend went shopping in Tamworth instead of flying - and so did I. Miro and Ian Barraclough went home.
Today it was quite cloudy for most of the day, but calm conditions, and the runway gradually drying out. We had a leisurely start after lunch. Kurt decided he would like to finish off his winch endorsement, which he started last time he was at the club. Garry came out to fly the tug, but obliged by driving the winch instead - most efficiently as always.
Kurt flew well on the winch, and went solo at the end of the day. The sky cleared and it was quite blue towards evening.
I'm hoping it will be a better day tomorrow and Kurt can get a few more solos under his belt.
On Saturday, I will be instructing on the winch in the morning for Craig Borchard - anyone able to assist with crewing would be appreciated. Then the plan is to go home and get the Callair!
