Practice day looked promising until we got to the top and experienced a 20km/hr wind from the South West and getting stronger.
In blustery, cross-wind conditions, a large field of pilots who had no doubt arrived in Porterville yesterday, were eager to show their talent. So when the conditions finally hit 35km/hr and those who insisted in flying even though they were barely moving forwards once off the ground, the show of multi-attempt launches was a spectacle to be seen.
Filming in my usual "European's" style, I lodged the camera at the foot of take-off and captured the scenes of multiple launch attempts and dented egos. It'll be posted on Utube soon :-) I know who you are.!!
The french decided to have a very long lunch and showed off the multi-coloured currency for all they had eaten and drunk in one afternoon.
Registration followed, smoothly and swiftly, and will be followed by a supper at the local Golf Club. Very jolly, what?
