Saturday Flying 22nd May 2020

Due to the forcast of very high winds, risk of showers & poor soaring potential I (in conjunction with Mike Jenks) have decided to cancel flying on Saturday. Given that we are obliged to operate in a very conservative way for the time being & the need to restrict “man”power on the airfield I judge […]

Wednesday 20th May 20th May 2020

Today was a trial to see if we could operate safely under the new current government rules. The CFI gave 17 members a long and thorough briefing, and we then flew some Venture flights and eight aerotows with a mix of private and club gliders. The soaring wasn’t great and most of us struggled to […]

VE 75 Yaks 8th May 2020

Hi Everyone Hope you are all keeping well. I saw the Yaks practicing on Weds here in Marnhull but there were only 3 and I don’t think they had sorted the smoke out as it all looked a bit random. Just like Jorn I saw the 5 Yaks going round and round for about an […]

We’ll meet again 8th May 2020

Hi folks, Just thought I’d share a photo of the skytyping we were treated to by the Yakovlevs here in Templecombe.
