The day started with a strong and variable wind with intermittent rain and, as a result, the first round was held as two ups
Due to an improvement around lunch time we were able to run three ups in the second round so there were, at last, some times recorded that could go towards the team qualification table.
Rain came in again at 3 pm and flying was then abandoned for the day.
Ross/Turner were again fastest on the day but a good time of 3:23.6 was posted in the second round by Miles/Yeldham with Tribe/Bollen claiming third place with a 3:30.5
Brian Turner showed us all his new sidewinder model with which he is conducting experiments this year.
