| Comments | :: | Forecast was optimistic but the wind was disappointingly strong most of the day for most people, except for a couple of courageous ones plus Lee on the mad little speedwing, then the sacrificial lambs left at 3.30 and it became flyable for all, though pretty chilly. Some punchy thermals are already around and loads of lift everywhere, all the way forward to the wood. We counted 11 current or ex RAF, a whole bunch of Cloudbase groupies and half of Muppet Squadron (welcome back Gav!) as well as lots of other keen TV members so socially it was plenty of fun while we waited and finally there was a fabulous sunset - see pics at the end of the album courtesy of Chris. |
