Practice Flights in Progress

The runway has dried out sufficiently to allow flying to start today, so most pilots have flown at least once in the box. Gerald and Nick have flown twice and Tom once. The cloudbase was a bit low this morning so it was lots of rolls and rolling circles for practice. This afternoon we have a bit more space to work in and pilots can fly some vertical figures and parts of sequences. Briefing is at 1600 and the opening ceremony at the airfield (or in the town hall) depending on weather.

The forecast for the next few days is a bit more promising so fingers crossed that we can start the Q Programme tomorrow.
