There's a hopeful blue hole overhead Aboyne, which requires very little interpretation to see as a wave gap, so we're standing by for the dampness to depart and the clag to clear. The Duo Discus and Grob are DI'd and ready to go (in the hangar...). Meanwhile, to entertain you, here's a round-up of previously unblogged photos from the week so far:

The Lasham expedition owes a big thank you to all the Deeside members who work hard to make us welcome and get us airborne, including the airfield manager, Bob Dunthorn (above), and tuggie Jonathon Morris (below).
Above: Murdo MacDonald, Aboyne glider and tug pilot, gives up his October in order to keep the kitchen and bar stocked and all the visitors fed and watered. Thank you very much, Murdo.
