Sunday 17th. The NW'ly flow continued but had weakened to light and flying commenced just after 1000am off runway 24. Flying came to a halt in the early afternoon due to low cloud and light rain/drizzle after 12 ATs, with some weak lift in front of Hood Hill enabling a couple of flights to exceed 30 minutes, although nobody managed over an hour. The > 30 minute flights were by Sanjay Nath, who had 40 minutes soaring in Astir DSU and Fred Brown/John Forrester who had 33 minutes in K21 JVZ. Sarah Stubbs, aided by Bob Calvert, flew the day's 4 First Flight pupils, while the Falke had 2 flights, on the second of which, Jamie Quartermaine/Sarah Stubbs flew an O/R to Rufforth.
