Category: Non flying day

Seeing as access to the club on Saturday morning was a little tricky we hastily rescheduled the venue for the BI ground prep with Patrick Naegeli to the Plough instead.

Many thanks to Marian for opening the pub 1 1/2 hrs early and for keeping us plied with hot food and beer for the duration. I’m pleased to say that Patrick was happy with the prep work and all 5 prospective BI’s are now ready for the flying exercises. Just need some warmer weather!

Well with Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix it was never going to be great was it…

Front cleared midday and left it very windy. We didnt fly.

Hamilton and Murray won so not a complete write-off.

How different November is turning out to be compared with October.  Not as wet as we’d expected but with that cloud base only the kites were soaring (they are the 2 grey smudges in the cover photo’).  Maybe no flying but there was a hive of activity.  I kept away from the vehicle maintenance/fixing (I am more of a liability than help in things mechanical) and kept myself amused with a little light trimming of the hedge on the approach.
