Hello Bloggers, My first blog so here goes.
Went to Butser West site. Others there early and had flown. Wind soon picked up enough to ground us.
I spoke to several new pilots including two visiting pilots who were hang glider pilots. One from up North the other from Chamon---FRANCE ! I briefed them and conditions were ok for them.They informed me they were meeting Grant who soon arrived .Grant flew first followed by the Northern chap . They seemed to enjoy themselves.
Interestingly when I asked if they were on holiday here they told me they were on a conversion course. I thought they meant from winch to hill but no. They were converting from the average airliner to fly the Air bus!! Wow!! And yes, they preferred flying their hang gliders. Nice one.
New rule imposed today by Mike Atkinson.
Fortunately James Lane had called for permission to use bottom fields and was informed that landing had to be in the fields with stubble, not in the usual fields. This just shows how important that phone call is.
Mike S , Simon V and myself had some more flying but it was turning rough with a fair bit of South in it so off we went.
