Tuesday 10th August from the Park. “Glorious Wiltshire Sun” 😎.

Good evening fellow aviators.

We bathed in glorious Wiltshire sunshine all day today at the Park 🙂.

The upper wind was a light 5 – 10kts WNW.

The weather wasn’t ideal for Cross Country flights from the Park today, but the local soaring opportunities were plentiful 🙂.

Mike J had a productive day instructing and Nick B was kept busy flying the Tug. 🙂 👍🏻.

Another very pleasant days flying from the Park dear aviators 😎.

I took a few pictures from the day to share with you all, hope you enjoy them.

Kind regards.

Damien.

Trial of my fibreglass go-pro mount for the wing of M3 12th June 2022
The trial went well and I have some nice videos. I was unable to upload a video clip due to it being too large a file. I followed all the advice from the BGA with respect to mount cameras to gliders and constructed a bespoke fibreglass mount that fixes securely to the wing and has […]
