It was soarable from 11:30 to 16:30 and Stephen had gone moving furniture to the Principality!
By 13:00 all seven aircraft were airborne (four club + HBO & CDF plus an impressive appearance of AP’s gleaming ASW 15).
A welcome absence of gliders
In the meantime Bob and I got stuck into a formidable flying list including three requests for last minute annual checks…… No further comment necessary!
Then I really got stuck in JPC. My recently returned parachute was, as usual left with the webbing hanging loose for adjustment. The ‘chute I was wearing had the strap on the main lift webbing hanging loose. As I attempted to exit the back seat, the end fold of the webbing caught under the trimmer wire (see pic) and I had to sit down again to release it. Thus chastened I folded the hanging straps and slid them into the elastic retainer. Just as well I didn’t have to step out in a hurry!
Hung up – wrong!
Looped – right!
We never stop learning!
