Saturday 8th July will probably go down in club history due to the sheer number of achievements.
It wasn’t the 41 launches, neither was it the 29:45 hours flown, no it was a culmination of:
3 first solos by Adrian, Bob and Martin 🙂
1 x 5 hour silver duration flight by Selvam with 5:08 🙂
1 x 2 hour bronze leg flight, by Alex with 2:16 🙂
2 x Silver height claims, by Alex and Selvam 🙂
and finally but, not least, 1 x 50k silver distance attempt by John 🙂
The Three Amigos show their happy faces! I think Adrian is smiling but it may just be wind……
John was “just practising” when he landed out at Oaksey Park.
I must say if you are going to pick a field you will not do better than this one, shame it wasn’t about 4k further away from Rivar!
This was after the LS7 was pushed clear of the runway

Very nice set up at Oaksey Park
So a nice airfield and a very nice pub nearby..
Oh nearly forgot, thanks to Pete Ellison who kindly took charge of a half day course for me and thanks also to Richard who supervised the putting away of the toys whilst I was retrieving John.
