I went saturday, but missed a lot of the flying buying bits, John Bennett took the photos of the combat panics and The Hawks flying in formation. The Gimbaled outlet can be seen on Ali's jet allowing him to perform the remarkable maneuvers . The large blue Extra did some of the best 3D flying I have seen

Slope & soaring

Monday

Tuesday
Rodborough was not too good, we did find some good thermal lift, perhaps the wind was a little too far south

Friday
After the rain passed I joined Peter at Minch for the afternoon, the air was good but no strong lift, I got to cloud base only once and that wasn't very high in the overcast conditions. Peter had brought a load of models two self launching gliders an indoor Lazy Bee and a Yak styled shock flier

Saturday
A day of very strong lift, Andy flew at Selsley, in mostly thermal lift. the clouds showed how good the lift with some towering cumulus that you could see growing. A large number of circling  birds made lift spotting very easy
