Thursday 21st. Overnight rain had cleared but left a cloudy, murky day with a light SE'ly flow, the weather remaining mild. All 6 ATs on the day were flown in K21 JVZ, with Mr A Brown flying 4 of them in the company of either Bob Beck or Andy Parish, while the day's only First Flight pupil […] Read More...
Monday 18th. A light mainly W'ly wind with a high, thin cover provided a quiet gliding day, with take offs from runway 24 and landings on 20 and even 02. 11 ATs resulted, with K21 JVZ, the DG1000 and the DG303 utilised. In the absence of any lift, it was once more a circuit day, with […] Read More...
Wednesday 13th. A cloudy day, the moderate S'ly bringing in periods of rain and low cloud to prevent any hope of flying, before the responsible front cleared away to the east, the clearance, with a veer to a moderate W'ly wind, coming too late to allow any flying to take place. Thursday 14th. A light […] Read More...
Saturday 9th. Another cold, but flyable day, produced 21 ATs off runway 24, all in either the club's or our Cambridge GC visitor's 2 seaters, a light to moderate WNW'ly slowly backing into the SW as the day progressed. The lack of any lift meant flight times were directly related to launch height, with Derek Smith and […] Read More...
Monday 3rd. A light to moderate W'ly that slowly backed into the WSW, plus sunny skies, provided a pleasant flying day, with even some vestiges of weak wave lift to delay the inevitable. 6 of the 10 aerotows off runway 24 generated flights of 30 minutes or more but nobody managed an hour, with Tony Drury, […] Read More...
Thursday 30th November. A moderate to fresh NNW'ly, with gusts in excess of 30 kts, was accompanied by frequent and at times heavy snow showers, confining the gliders and tugs to the hangars and those members who braved the weather to the club house. Thursday also turned out to be the first ice day of […] Read More...
Saturday 25th. The day dawned sunny and cold, the cold resulting in iced wings on the gliders that delayed the start of flying until just before midday, AT operations being off runway 24 as a light W'ly blew. 18 ATs resulted until misting canopies led to the last AT being aborted on the ground run before […] Read More...
Wednesday 22nd. A cloudy, damp and increasingly windy day, with the moderate to fresh SE'ly gusting into the mid 40 kts by late afternoon, resulting in a non-flying day. Thursday 23rd. A day of blustery showers with the moderate S'ly wind soon veering into the WSW and increasing to fresh, with gusts to 40 kts, […] Read More...
Thursday 16th. Some early morning rain, as a front cleared to the east, delayed the start of flying until around midday, the moderate SW'ly wind by this time having veered into the WNW and decreased in strength to light to moderate. Only 3 AT's were flown off runway 24, all in K21 JVZ, one of […] Read More...
Sunday 12th. A moderate to fresh NW'ly wind gusting into the mid thirty kts meant it was a non-flying day in the real world, although in the virtual world a number of members made use of the simulator. Monday 13th. A light to moderate WNW'ly that slowly backed into the SSW provided a quiet day's […] Read More...
