A short flying day earmarked primarily those progressing their instructor training.

Rain and showers, winds that were, at times, out of limits, a change of runways as the wind changed and helo movements all conspired to challenge us.

A great day out that saw over 9 hours of flying time.

A blisteringly hot day saw club members supporting the annual RAF Shawbury Families Day

Storm Antoni forced a change of flying day and many thanks to RAF Shawbury staff for getting the runway swept early at such short notice.

After a number of recent flying days lost to the weather, normal service was resumed today albeit in testing conditions.

With weather interrupting flying at Shawbury over the past few weekends, a few of the more frustrated club members headed off to Seighford

With Club CFI Ian Gallacher.

It was hard work for the tuggies on a hot and v humid day and with little lift to take advantage of.

It was a full house that made the most of the conditions today with some great aerobatics, 33 launches and over 21 hours flying time.

A better day than the forecast suggested but making the most of the conditions proved difficult, some strong thermic activity accompanied by some equally strong sink challenged some.

With a number of instructors and tuggies away in Sisteron and a larger than usual numbers of students it was a hectic day.

Our best of intentions were thwarted by the weather, a combination of low cloud and rain grounding those who had ventured out to the launch point.

Rain laden skies brought an end to flying early. Whilst we managed to get in a number of launches for our younger pilots, rain was always there or thereabouts and brought and end to all but one flight late in the day.
