Bizarre!

I returned back to my strip to yesterday to pick up another aeroplane - only to find it blocked by a glider who had run out of energy, they don't like rain showers, it appears. There was a big comp Notammed nearby.

A couple of low passes and glider pilot moved his machine. We landed, made sure he was alright. He was given the postcode and name of the farm and we departed again in two a/c.

About 45 mins later I was heading home again and saw a glider trailer leaving the area! Strip was clear, no damage done. Hope he got airborne and today's comp was more succesful for him!
