Lasham Gliding Competition Sunday 30th May 2021

[davidallum]

The original dates for their competition was this week but has been pushed back to later this month but they are using this week for training and an un-official competition so after meeting up with good friend Rob Belcher we positioned ourselves ready for the action to begin,we stayed at the clubhouse as they were taking off from the hangar end.We had almost given up waiting for them to fly when at 13.40 there was an announcement on the tannoy asking all pilots to report to the grid and within 10 minutes this little lot started to get airborne.Tugs used were all Lasham based and I haven't separated based gliders from visitors:

Might pop down there again later this week as I've noticed a few gliders on FR24 that didn't fly on Sunday.

That's a great haul of gliders there Dave, I was watching FR24 on Bank Holiday Monday and there seemed to be a load airborne from Rivar Hill, of which I needed about a dozen or so. Considering it's only a 30 minute ride or so from home, I don't really know why I've never called by.

Funny you should mention Rivar Hill Graham, I drove past the field for the first time ever on Sunday. Didn't have time to investigate properly, but stopped at the entrance and got what I could see on the field and in the circuit. Logged the following:

CFBC
CGAF
CHBO
CIPF
CJOO
CLTC
DDHA
DEGF
DEUF
DEUJ
DHCF

Made 7 out of the eleven so a profitable little stop.

There are two things that I really enjoy watching Graham,that's a mass glider launch and a mass hot air balloon ascent.Very happy to have made 15 out of that lot plus a couple of the stored airliners.

Great Haul Dave well worth the trip out

Happy Days

30th was obviously AFA glider day- I called past Crowland (second ever visit) and Cranwell North that day. Only made 6 (a Pawnee and 5 gliders), but nice to visit unusual places!
