They've started

All of our pilots have started into a really odd looking sky.
Cloudbases are all over the place with blue holes and rain in places, another difficult day.

I learned on the grid today that Thomas had lent his elevator (from GX) to the Swede after the mid air so that he could continue to fly in the competition.
Once he learned of the protest he asked for it back, but since the damaged elevator is now repaired the Swede has not been inconvenienced.
Sorry there haven't been any photos for a while, it's too hot...............................

  2. Flippin' heck - is this a gliding comp or a gliding soapie...?! Don't think we've ever followed a comp with so much drama. Thanks for all the updates & blogs, it's been great to read each day. Go well Peter (& safely)!

  4. I agree with all the comments above a great day for the Standard Class team.

    I can imagine Tobie's grin but I bet Andrews was bigger.
