Apologies for the late report, the result of limited email access.

 

Only a small but intrepid band, largely committee members, headed for RWY 12 in what turned out to be fluctuating conditions.  

Steve Bowtell and later John Ashford shared the tuggie duties.   

 

However some important preparatory work was done for Watts Bridge this weekend in the form of dual towing practice.  

 

First flight of the day comprised Mick Moloney in GJY along with David Higgs (and yours truly as ballast) in CQC.  

 

On our return, Kevin Rodda took our first AEF of the day, Andy Denniss on a 35 minute jaunt, after which Bert Persson and Tony Sorrensen in GYK and Lindsay Mitchell and David in the 28 headed off for the second dual towing experience of the day.  

 

Tony and Bert achieved the best flight of the day at 48 minutes - who would have thought?  

 

We were then joined by our second AEF Samanatha ("call me Sam") who enjoyed her first flight with Kevin so much that she lined up for seconds.  

 

In the meantime Mick and David shared a mutual flight in the Blanik, and Karl Bodi rounded out the day with a 10 minute hangar flight in the Libelle.
