Update on Free Programme Flights

Monday morning in Touzim and it is a nice day, although there are some small clouds building up now in the box. The grass airfield is on top of a hill at around 2100 feet and so we tend to get a clear start first thing in the morning but then small clouds build up during the early part of the morning. Today there was just enough time before the clouds arrived for the warm-up pilot and Tom to fly. Tom flew what looked like a clean Free Programme from where we were watching - some minor errors but overall a good flight which should keep Tom in contention as we head towards the Unknowns. We will see what the judges made of the flight once the scores are in the computer (see www.civa-results.com).

Flying is now suspended while we wait for the cloud base to rise - which usually happens late morning. Gerald is the next British pilot to fly, then Nick.
