Thursday 16th. With little change in the synoptic situation, it was another day with a thick sheet of stratocumulus covering the sky as a light, mainly W'ly, wind blew. Release heights were limited to 1,600' QFE by the overcast with the result that flight times didn't exceed 10 minutes from the 3 flights in K21 KLW and Martin Newbery's flight in his Ventus ct.
Friday 17th. Another day of anticyclonic gloom, with a thick overcast hiding the sun and a light breeze blowing from the N'ly segment of the compass. The gloom extended to flying opportunities with the hangar doors remaining firmly shut.
