Last minute retask!

After the Comp Director looking at webcams to the North, we had a rebrief at the front of the grid. Decision was taken to set a new task -

TASK C - Stokenchurch (SOS) - Oxford East (OXF) - Chilbolton (CBN) - Didcot (DID) - Booker Finish 1 (BF1) = 183.3km.

This turned into a bit of a "Treasurer's Special" for a few pilots who didn't make it through the start, relight, retried, landed, relight again and so the "kerching!" of the launch fees eventually stirred up enough of a thermal for a few late re-re-re-starters to at least head off to Oxford.

Eventually three pilots didn't start, a few didn't complete the task but everybody made it back to the airfield. We await the results.....

Apparently someone at Lasham complained in jest that they weren't making enough money off the tugs last week with no relights nor aerotow retrieves ;-)
