G'day all,

Yesterday's crew consisted of duty instructor Bob Turner, AEI Lindsay Mitchell, Tuggie Karl Bodi and myself as DP. The only planned flight of the day was Rod Wilson with friend Len McIntyre.

Amongst the activity of daily inspections on CQC and SPA, Lindsay undertook some maintenance on the Blanik and Nick Sheahon (who later dropped in for a chat) was spotted climbing into a C172.

As the subject heading suggests only 3 flights were carried out and they were all around the hour mark, all returning out of consideration not lack of lift. Rod and Len of course were one flight whilst the other 2 were myself and Bob doing my long overdue annual and some thermalling/aerobatic mentoring.

Thanks to the days crew for their efforts and to those who contemplated flying yesterday all 3 flights encountered 6-8 knot thermals so keep that in mind for next time!! (Including myself)
