Oh! what a beautiful morning - until about 10am when the cloud layer started to thicken and we realised that the forecast was probably going to come true. We met at 7:30 to set up the line. Thank you to Matt, Steve Hunt, Andy Prime, Dave Matthias, Hubert Pritchard and Stuart Mellor of their help. Our pilots briefing was held on our flight line and this helped with processing models and the gazebo did its job to protect the scales from the breeze. Before the wind freshened all was packed safely away. Each flight was noise tested with no issues. With thanks to our judges and scribes and all who helped get a result before the weather broke. The flight order was: Intermediate, Advanced, Team selection, P only and it was all fine until the last three flights of the round were flown in worsening conditions but they avoided getting too wet. A gathering of all pilots and judges finally decided that with the weather forecast we should probably call it a day, I reluctantly agreed. With hindsight the right decision. I left Barkston around 2pm and the rain was still falling and did so for the rest of the day. Ashley
