Monday Two visiting flyers from Wiltshire arrived and were
flying F3F style, very fast and low, with a Pike WR and the successor to
the New Sting, the name of which I can’t recall! The full sized gliders were unusually using the
Selsley West bowl / ridge, generally at a good height and flying slowly.
It was a bit disconcerting in any case. They came from the direction of
the club, not returning from some cross country endeavor or whatever, as
they sometimes do. We were ‘spotting’ and made sure we kept out of
their way. The two lads from Wiltshire were up along the North end of the
ridge, nothing wrong with that and very suddenly a Discus flew in amongst
them a high speed and low, from the direction of the club.

Thursday a light breeze with good lift on the west facing slope of Selsley Friday at Selsley, a light breeze with good thermals that faded later in the afternoon leaving just smooth slope lift. Saturday at Selsley, a dull afternoon with very light slope lift, just enough to keep my Pegase in the air. |

Saturday A quiet session at Chosen Hill school's indoor meeting. CB had a tough time, breaking 4 of his models and my Edge copy. Ken's Cessna looked and flew well. Clive finally got his jet like Delta to fly. Paul's Holy Cow towed some steamers round slowing it a bit. I tried to video the flying but only got outtakes, these are posted at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ciAxWZkpbg8 Look out for my near perfect torque roll and CB's Vertical take off and landing
