Oh its Cold @ the field

Quick trip over to the field on Wednesday with a view to flying over to Goodwood or possibly Rochester but as soon as I arrived I could see that this was unlikely.

The forecasters had predicted that the wind would pick up as the day progressed and for once they were spot one....bugger.

Although the wind was pretty much straight down 06 it was averaging 10 knts plus with gusts almost up to 20knts. One brave sole who had arrived early and gone up for a quick local reported that although it had been OK on the ground (at that time) the winds were 090/35+ @ 1000.

After a good long chat with Keith and David I decided to call it a day after quickly checking over the planes security etc and quick check in the trailer.

Oh well you can't win them all.
