Saturday 1 June - by Vic Hatfield

Yesterday (Saturday) had hi cirrus with a lower band approaching.
Mathew had his students there on the winch and completed about 6 launches. The first one was a ' cable break ' , we think that the cable may not have been secured properly in the release,however the recovery and landing was textbook.
Mark Russell called in and whilst we had a winch driver I introduced him to winching and completed 2 launches -- the last one achieved 1800'.
An AEF arrived ,a grandfather in his 80's who flew Tiger Moths in the 50's. Went well with the ailerons and elevator.
Geoff Neely was the tuggie and he helped me put the Grob away, thanks Geoff .
Had a cuppa after Geoff left and found myself the only person on the site along with the Roos -- it is a peaceful place . Drops of rain on the windscreen as I left around 1600. 
Vic.
