Portmoak Expedition - Day 1

After settling in following several long drives the day before and a hearty meal at the club that night, today was our first 'flying' day. What a day too ... all had site briefing from a local instructor, then site checks with Mick Hughes in our K21. Paul Woodcock was so excited with his check flight, he went straight off in his own little 'pinkie' Pegase to soar the Bishop Hill and then into the wave ... tee hee!! Mick Hughes later flew solo in Paul's 'pinkie' to enjoy the wave too, racing between the hill and the wave. Mike Crook flew solo in the K21 and Phil Hayward in Jenny's ASW-19 as the last flight of the day. All had well over an hour each and came down only to be fed or watered! Posted by Jenny
