Tuesday 24th. A generally cloudy, but otherwise pleasant day with a light NW'ly saw 3 ATs off runway 02 in K21 JVZ and one off 24. this being by Bob Calvert in his Discus 2ct. Guy Hartland was P1 in all three JVZ flights which were circuits off 1100-1300' tows, Logan Briggs having 2 flights and Konrad Kawalec one. Bob found a convergence that enabled him to soar for just over 2 hours, visiting near Churchouses, Black Hambleton and Dalton and climb to 4,400' asl. Bob provided the following photo of the convergence which appears to have tracked westwards as the wind at Topcliffe switched from NW to SE around 1700 hours.
