Not a classic day weather-wise but it turned out to be a great day nontheless. Congratulations to Ed Robinson for converting into the Elfe today (and for a flawless take off and landing to boot!). Also congrats to Richard Waddington and Andy Carden for finally getting to fly their DG300 and to Calvin Lepard who was cleared to fly the Junior. A day of firsts!

It lives! Our very smart, newly refurbished tug plane has had its first proper engine test which went very well. One step closer to being airborne and a fabulous testimony to the workshop engineers who have laboured tirelessly to get the project up and running. Amazing effort by all concerned!

A huge thank you to all of the workshop members who have put an incredibe amount of time and effort into this!

Probably the best soaring day of the season so far. A cold northerly air flow and bright sunshine meant a cloudbase of over 5,000' and particularly booming thermals.
