Tuesday

The starts are coming think and fast. There is evidence of showers down track but we managed to launch the grid without getting wet. I seems that we have tasked into the same area as Lasham who are coming north, we both seem to think that area will offer the best opportunites.

Tuesday

Task set TIB-RAT-STS-GRF-TIB

Grid commenced launching at 1100hrs and the start line opened at 1200hrs. As I write OM has called start.

Briefing is over, in view of the high winds and forecast gusts we are scrubbed for today.

It does not look good for today, I suspect we will be watching the Monaco GP today after all. Briefing is at 1000hrs so more after then.
