Thursday saw a good turnout of mid-week pilots probably on account of a very favourable weather forecast.

Fourteen members and a visitor came to Kirkistown and enjoyed some lovely Autum weather and relaxing flying in the light airs.  Both runways were used when the wind direction changed and the sun 'came out' making flying off the concrete runway difficult at times.

Later in the day the turbine 'fired up' and the blades rotated suprisingly quickly despite the low wind speed; in the region of 6-mph I would guess.  No one seemed too bothered by our active neighbour.

Not risking my own plane, Ken volunteered his foamy glider, so I passed by close on the downwind side and noticed no turbulance at all!  When I say close, I mean a lot closer than one would normally pass.  Interesting.

My Mama told me, 'there would be days like this'.
