Unfortunately due to a volcano in Iceland the 621 Air Cadet Easter course had to be cut short. This enabled the ash resistant historic flight to have a busy few days. The Grasshopper was given an airing on the Thursday evening with the MKIII and Sedbergh having a good few flights on the Friday. Saturday saw Pete Turner bring Mendips tug over which was put to use aerotowing, thus followed some huge grins after aerotowing the MKIII to 2000′.
The following Friday saw all three gliders at the launch point and we were joined by a couple of ex Air Cadet instructors who had an enjoyable day of nostalgia, one of which flew in in a beautiful Jungmeister bi-plane and produced his Air Cadet log book showing his last MKIII flight in 1975!
