Order of Flight for Q Programme

The first briefing and opening ceremony are done and the pilots have drawn lots for order of flight for the Q programme. 53 pilots are competing from 13 countries. The British Team all drew high numbers (Nick 30, Tom 42, Gerald 43). Two of the Italian pilots drew flight numbers 1 and 2, so they have an early start in the morning. Nick may fly tomorrow late afternoon, depending on the weather, but its unlikely that Tom and Gerald will fly until Saturday. So lets hope for some good weather tomorrow so that we can make progress with the Q flights.
