Elimination Testing Continues

Tuesday afternoon sky, this is what it looked like.















Graham's arrival back at Sisteron after his area familiarization flight.





As you would have seen by Graham's last posting the elusive bit of pretty paper with the appropriate stamp & signature fixed has arrived.
Yep this means we'll rig in the morning. A bit late today and the wind is up a bit so I think we'll do it in the morning is best.
Meantime there are a few domestics to do back at home and yes the clothes washer is running this very moment!

Other domestics include the continuation of the elimination process.
At the Super U we normally poke our nose into the beer section and select another 1 or 2 test specimens.

Here is the ongoing results of the process.
They are rated from left to right and in 3 groups.
On the left are the brands we like and are probably going to resample! In the middle are the samples that we would drink if offered but would not pay money for them, and on the right, well, what can I say!! The one on the far right, we poured into the sink! Who in their right mind would mix whiskey with beer!!!





My plan today was to go for a run in a 2 seater with a french instructor. I thought I had arranged it earlier this morning but it seemed that was forgotten over lunch and by the time I found someone to talk to about it there was no longer a possibility for today. Pity, because the Mistral is here today and the ridges seem to be pumping really well watching the gliders being dropped off tow on the mountain ridge just downwind.
So I've been told to remind a particular guy after briefing tomorrow that I am to fly with Remmy.
Bewdy!!!





Going for walkies in the French countryside around our Gite.

  1. Ziggy's pick is the bottled beer. He was having this one every ... day while I was up in the air. Hope you have a more reliable crew Graham ;)
