Weekend Report: Adriaan & Adri take off
SATURDAY
As I am sure you all are aware, Saturday was rained out in most places and blown out at Worcester. Thanks to the team that turned up in any event – William Whittaker and Frank Dorey as well as Bill Griffiths and Boet Coetzee.
SUNDAY
Sunday held more promise and Ari and Andre , the instructors, were the first to arrive with Mark, tuggie, close behind. Helmut and Cornelius, the DP’s, got the show on the road. With a 30km NW, GHB was the first to be launched and Helmut and Ari had 2 hours on Vic Peak. Next Garth in GHW and Alan Proctor in GIG followed by Jaco in GUC all had long flights on the Peak. Adriaan and Adri and Adriaan and Kylie also joined them with Kylie taking her spectacular air to air photos.
Later a new member, Paul Cartmel, had a wonderful first instructional flight with Ari on the Peak. Cornelius converted onto the Falke and June Sterling also flew the Flake with Andre. In fact, the Falke was kept busy until late with Alan Proctor flying it after he had landed GIG.
I would like to wish Adriaan and Adri “Bon Voyage” as they are leaving tomorrow in their Lamabda for Namibia and Botswana. They will be meeting up with other Lambadas and Sambas in Namibia. They should be back about the 10th of June.
I would also like to wish Dave Starke well. He is going into hospital today for an operation and we will be thinking of him and Shiela. He is being admitted to the Constantiaberg Clinic.
I would like to congratulate Peter Wooley on a fantastic KRAUTKORANT . I am sure that not many people know how much effort Peter puts into editing and putting together the KK. Thank you once again Peter!
Last but not least – DON’T FORGET THE GAUNTLET next Saturday!! I am sure that Alan will be putting together something challenging for everyone – especially with the weather keeping everyone guessing!
Don’t forget that , if it should be raining on the Cape Town side of the mountain, it does not mean that the same weather is prevailing on the FAWC side. Phone me on my cell if you are not sure!
