13 Sat. Rather mild,
some hazy sunshine but dull, misty, chilly later. With Laurie, Donald, Leonard
Conley and Clifford Gover to Wimbledon Common to fly the small spar and the
large model with the new 41½ ins span wing. The spar performed admirably but
there was rather too much wind for the large one as it has a much longer range
and would soon have drifted right away. Must try again under more favourable
conditions but the new wing has a great deal of lift and would fly at a great
height if fully wound: it is too good for the Common. Summer time begins.
