The first of those that had put their name down for some aerotowing convened at Lee-on-Solent, home of PNGC. They kindly lent us a glider for the day and lined their tug up in front of it at regular intervals so we could practice some tows. Great views and good flying by all those who attended.

Radio Telephony Course

Just in case the Blog gets to places that Yahoo Groups does not reach. The first session of the FRTO Licence course starts on Wednesday at 18:30 in the club house.

Whether wanting to qualify as a certified radio operator,
qualified but need a refresher,
or just interested in how to use the field radio correctly,
 this course is for you!

All for only a fiver (to cover costs – any surplus to club funds). Don’t worry if you can’t make the start time, just turn up asap.
