It was another of the recent very hot days at the Vale of White Horse Gliding Centre today.  ON days like this, pilots try to avoid too much time waiting in the cockpit, but occasionally it doesn’t work out quite as planed – maybe the tug stops to refuel, or there’s an issue with the tow rope, or another launch needs to take priority for some reason.   Thankfully we get regular visits from our local ice-cream van on flying days, and pilots trapped in their planes can usually rely on another club member to deliver an ice-cream to the needy (in this case me – thanks Adrian!)
