Thursday & Friday 1 & 2 October

Busy days, hence late with the blog.

Been doing quite a bit of towing, while the glider pilots had all the fun. Thursday and Friday were quite good soaring days, but with a bit of over-development later on.

On Thursday John Trezise flew the club Jantar, Al Giles flew his Jantar, Vic Hatfield flew the cirrus - but didn't post his flight to OLC, so he's in trouble! Allan Buttenshaw flew the Grob with an ex-airforce friend called Rod, who he is trying to induce to take up gliding. They flew cross country and Rod came back grinning. Allan DID post his flight to the OLC, thanks Allan. When not flying, Rod made himself very useful about the airfield, running wings and sweeping out the hangar! After putting his Jantar away, Al Giles flew two passenger flights - some motorcyclists who dropped in for a look. Finally Allan test flew the Junior again, and pronounced the trim to be properly set up now, so we signed off the Form 2.

On Friday Allan and Rod flew again in the Grob, John Trezise and Al Giles in the Jantars and Ken Flower came out for a quick sortie in in Grob 109.

On
