The day started off slowly as we only had one AEF flight for the day. 

Duty crew for the day were David Higgs (Duty Instructor), Dan Kershaw (Tug Pilot), Lindsay Mitchell (Air Experience Instructor)  and myself as Duty Pilot.

We had a visit from an airline pilot, Brent (can't remember his surname). He is keen to start back flying gliders as he did when he was young but declined to fly with Lindsay today, maybe some other time.

Bert Persson and Steve Bowtell also turned up at the flight line to have a chat for a short time. 

The wind today was quite strong, towed IKW down to 12 and waited for our AEF passenger Robert Phelan to turn up. 

It was the only flight for the day. and after he was settled in the glider he was off for a 58 minute flight with Lindsay.

After his return to earth Robert was out of the flying machine a very happy chappy.

Signing off for now,
