With four Silver duration flights completed already this season, we are off to a very good start. These have been achieved by David Hart, Peter Trenchard, Graham Hinder and John Bundy. The last three of these were all local soaring flights, while the first Was flown at Portmoak, where David also reached 10,000 ft. in wave. The elusive South Marston wave has also been flown at last. After all the talk by our wave “experts” it took one of our younger members to fly it to almost 7,000 ft. In March we held our ninth annual Dinner and Dance, where we welcomed our new President, Charles Morrison M.P., who, in spite of art arduous evening arrived at the airfield for his introduction to gliding the next morning. We are interested in the possibility of using diesel tow vehicles and we would appreciate information from any other clubs who are operating them.
