Prize is that it will be used as the banner photo unitl i get bored or fancy a change. I am judge, jury and executioner. No cash alternative will be offered.

A hardy few turned out today and had an enjoyable few hours in the great outdoors. Just an up-and-down kind of a day. Only a few flights managed to break, just, into double digits flying time. We are not quite sure how Chris B managed to get 15 minutes – must have been his new toy trying to avoid the the muddy field.

Clear blue shy and sun when I left Newbury – complete cloud cover by the time I got to Rivar. Could base started to lift and occasional glimses of that yellow ball in the sky. Paul Prentice set the standard with 8 minutes which nobody managed to match until I took JMX just to keep the place tidy. I stumbled into the day’s thermal (well, a more of a mini street) and was rewarded with 29 minutes. Colin was doing his best to keep the average flight time low (the lure of the yellow knob). With just 8 of us flying today no shortage on the donut front (thanks Peter M).
