The weather this morning at Touzim is sunny but there have been some clouds in the box. We completed about 8 Free Programme flights yesterday before the 1900 curfew. Overnight the teams prepared their Unknown 1 programme submissions and 8 alternative sequences have been proposed - I will try to get copies to upload to the blog. Each pilot can now select one of the eight sequences to fly, which gives them an opportunity to pick the design that best suits their style and aircraft. The deadline for notifying the organisers about their choice is 1730 today.
We have not done much flying this morning because there was a landing incident involving one of the Italian pilots, Gianfranco Cillario. Gianfranco is unhurt and needed no medical attention which is good news, although the aircraft is damaged.
The cloudbase midmorning was below 800m, so the judges have had an early lunch and we are hoping to start again at about 1330. If the weather holds we should get a good way through the Free Programme and its possible that Nick, Tom and Gerald will fly today (late afternoon).
