Bank Holiday Weekend Flying

Hi all, looks like another classic Bank holiday weekend coming up!

Looking at the BBC weather forecast - here's a round up of there predicted weather.

Saturday - Overcast S - SE winds but not very strong
Sunday - NE - NNE (early on) 10mph then rain in the afternoon
Monday - Rain in the morning but drier midday and drying up to leave a 10mph NW wind PM
Now as we know this can all change and it could be better or worse than forecast.

We have a number of aircraft that need there maiden flights but will this weekend be any good to see them soar away from the slope?

My Lasham weather forecast for glider pilots said that Saturday will be 15mph S which would be superb for Newhaven Cliffs or Mount Caburn but this is far stronger than the BBC are forecasting.

Sunday morning early (say 9.00) could be OK at Ditchling Beacon but the wind is due to swing more E and lighten up as the rain comes in by around Midday.

How about we have a list of people and their mobile numbers who want to go flying and we leave it till the night before or even on the day. Flexibility will be the key to some flying over the BH.

Maybe someone could print off the 'A' slope exam sheet and we could try and practise the test?

I will be dashing around up to Heathrow very early on Sunday morning and all those other house hold chores plus gardening needs doing but I want to take the opportunities as and when they appear!

Are you in?
