Sunday 1st June

The weather is not playing the game, so the day is scrubbed.  Some pilots are remaining airborne while the rest practice filling the airfield with gliders. Some of the comp went out and flew the task anyway, their 'results' are available (but not included in any competition scores).

Off the ground at least.. All airborne but the start line is being held closed for a short time in the hope that cloudbase will improve.
