Comments :: Busy during the day watching Spitfires & Lysanders at Middle Wallop airshow then rushed up to Rybury to find everyone leaving after a frustrating day. Reports of strong gusts but no real wind for soaring and quite a lot of long walks up the killer hill. I heard that a few got away and had some cracking flights, and then saw 3 fly away overhead. Two people were packing up as well - oh no, too late! Then I noticed Sion on his smart, new Team 5 Blue wing maintaining nicely and felt a reasonable breeze picking up. The two of us had a wonderful, unexpected hour plus, bouncing around in a sort of restitution mixed with thermals still coming through and a few easy top landings. Max 250ft. Finished well after 7pm and it was still lifty even then. Big thanks to Sion for staying on as he'd already been flying all day.
