Beverley soaring society, Sun, June 19. Good day despite all the recent rain. Who says that gliding is a summer sport? Initially windy from WSW. Using RWY 26.
16 flights. Longest flight, 58 minutes (came down through choice). Thermals to cloudbase at 3,700'. Yours truly was the tug pilot all day. The first tow of the day was a memorabl one to 7,000' to drop Kevin Saunders off to Cunderdin (he was flying GCWA's Blanik back home after it was kindly loaned to BSS for instructor training). It was lovely and smooth above the clouds. To give you an idea of the wind, it took 10 minutes to get to the drop off point above Greenhills silo, but almost 20 minutes to get back to Beverley).
