Congratulations to Owen Grogan who completed his Silver C Distance. Owen used the club’s Ka8 to do one leg of the Silver Badge, the 50k distance. Owen also narrowly missed out on his Silver C Duration by a very short time.
Owen went to Bagenalstown which is around 57 to 60 km away and came back to land at Gowran Grange in the Ka8 which was an achievement in itself. Well done.
Looking back on 2023, as usual one of the highlights was the autumn safari to Kerry. Storm Agnes knocked out some of the flying days, but we still managed to get flying. Here’s a picture of the K18 standing by to be launched into the air by a car tow. But what’s that “ground equipment” next
