Naughty boy yesterday.
Those people who have flown at Sisteron before will know there system of accounting for gliders that are airborne, so at the end of the day they can see if anyone is missing. As with any system if you try hard enough you will find the holes and that proved to be the case with our tail dolly’s. We left one tail dolly on the launch point trailer at the end of our flight, so the duty instructor went around trying to match the dolly with a glider but because our dolly’s have comp numbers and they use aircraft registrations it caused some confusion. Anyway as the group leader I got a slap on the head this morning!

Another slightly confusing weather forecast.
Well I came out of the morning briefing with very little understanding of what will be happening today apart from the fact the all the different forecast models show light winds. So the gliders are out at the launch point ready to go and we are all hoping that the mid level cloud that I can see to the west will just burn off.
