An inaugural flight of the fifth 3m Rokkaku on Blackheath.

Windspeeds on Blackheath since early May have been consistently high.

Today there was a variable westerly breeze, staying very light for minutes on end and then building up in very sustained gusts.

The passing thermals are a regular feature of wind patterns on Blackheath in June!
