The Eurofox offered to drop in on us today as they headed South from visiting Portmoak.
The conditions at BGC were extremely windy (25-35 knot gusts all day)- the Duty Instructor and tug pilot had ruled out any thought of flying and everyone had been sat around doing nothing much - apart from Dave & John who were ploughing through CofA paperwork on the computer.
The Eurofox arrived overhead about 2pm when the windsock was literally horizontal and Adrian and Roger made a steady approach over the gate before executing an excellent landing given the conditions.
Once the aeroplane was on the ground it seemed very steerable - showed no tendency to weathercock when it turned broadside on to the wind and then taxied downwind to the waiting crowd
The take off into wind was equally amazing - it was 'off' within 40 yards and climbed away steeply.
