Friday 5th to Saturday 6th February
Friday. A thoroughly raw and wet, non-flying day with the site in cloud courtesy of a light, cold and damp SSE’ly flow.
Saturday. Although the wind, of which there was very little, had switched into the N, the same raw conditions continued to keep the site in cloud. Flying was confined to the simulator with 7 flights, while Peter Clay repaired the glider washing pump. In the evening Roger Burghall entertained and educated the assembled members with a lecture on the Principles of Flight, including the use of a hair drier and ping pong ball to illustrate Benoulli’s theorem. This was followed by a pie, pea and chips supper courtesy of Brian.
