Maybe it was the thought of a really “hot day” with regular Friday Flyers and Member numbers  down.

 

L2 Barry McCarthy, Tuggies John Knox (a.m.) and Steve Bowtell (p.m.) were the Duty Crew.....Members turning up to fly  included Arthur Mailey, Bob Hainsworth and Student Dean Nicolle.

 

Any lift was hard to locate as indicated by the longest flight of the day being only 24 minutes by student Dean Nicolle and Barry McCarthy......this flight did include “some excitement “ as when Dean was coming in to land in GYK and approx. 150 feet in height prior to touch down Gazelle Reg. No. 24-3223 decided to leave the under shoot area and take off despite all clearly hearing Dean’s crosswind and downwind calls.....Dean did a very good “right grass” landing to avoid.

 

Given the small numbers and lack of lift only five flights were undertaken with total flying time 1 hour 37 minutes.

 

Safe flying over the Weekend.
