longest day 25

starting the season

A good blow at Bopeep gives Simon the chance to get the DG dialled in

 

decided it wasn't going to fly well with one set of wing servos unplugged!

goes like stink!

some cracking little (previously powered) foamies

make for great PSS models

Skylark!

Simon's newly acquired Slingsby Skylark gets a airing!

slopes on the telly episode 213

Vic and Bob visit Thurnham during the cowshed era.... anyone recognise the mystery flyer at the end?

 

 

shortest longest day

6 months ago it was the longest day...

strangely enough it's warmer right now

in the depths of December!

we were most impressed by Pete's pop-off Salto prop

after nasty rumours that he was chopping the nose off

turned to be much exaggerated! 

the patch- sub-zero despite appearances!

..and just when we thought it couldn't get any colder, the sun went down and it got colder!

launching for the mass fly at sundown

until June '25

(don't forget to bring your thermal underwear!)

It's always a pleasure to share the hill with visitors from afar....

our Teutonic guests come with a fine set of implements

all hand crafted, many hollow moulded !

even if the wind is a touch off the slope, it's still

working, and we get some sun!

a good view across to Caburn...

reveals a bloody sky full!

guess the prevailing wind direction!

the nights are drawing in....

until next year!

comet spotting..... but all we get is a good dose of damp veneer!

 Holy crap BBC, that's some serious wind!
