Today proved to be another hot day, unfortunately without much lift. We were also without many members today….maybe a legacy of a busy footy weekend.

We had only 3 flights in all and took only the IS30 out , initially to 30 but later the light winds reversed and we moved to 12.


In charge as L2 was Tony Sorensen. Dan Kershaw was Tuggie and Lindsay Mitchell came along for one AEI in between working on the Twin.


Alan Graham went up with myself for a Rear Seat check in the IS30 and later took his partner`s friend up for a flight which she enjoyed despite admitting to some nerves. 

Lindsay took a lady up for an AEF and all flights were around 20-30 mins with very little lift and quite a hot breezeless day.


Thanks to Alan for pitching in with extra duties as we had no DP and also to Dan Kershaw who helped with moving the pie cart gear despite being Tuggie for the day. 

Thanks also to Tony for standing in for Barry as L2 supervisor despite staying on Terra Firma all day. 

When we are down members we all have to pitch in. 

Yesterday I was delivered a little girl grandchild by my daughter ... and Lindsay tells me the Wallabies beat England. 

Lets hope tonight goes well. 

I am barracking for Queensland!

See you at the field.
