Christmas Course Day 3
Xmas course day 3 Winching today. Well done to Mike Edwards on the exercises for his Gliding Aerobatics Badge. Well done to Neil Geraghty for his development of aerobatics. Once he learned to be “forceful” it went well. Not many candidates this year but three good days.
A rather nervous Neil on tow.
Thanks to all for coming out. Was very enjoyable.
