Thursday 16th

Good call from Colin to move Wednesday to Thursday. Unfortunately, it meant I was not able to be there so I’m just reporting from what I’ve seen in the log. Paul P proved there was some soaring to be had with 29 minutes off the first launch but it was over 2 hours and a dozen launches later before anyone else managed to do anything much better than a circuit. That was Ken R’s second attempt in HZD (ASW 15) in which he took second longest flight of the day honours with 1:11. From that point on most flights were longer than basic circuits. The longest flight? Peter E – once more in HZD. 10:46 flown off 30 launches – somewhat better than the 9 launches over the whole of the previous weekend.
