16th + 17th March event

<< < (15/15)

Happy Days:
Okay Tracy, let’s take this group photo as a reference.
The guys standing are, from left to right :-



Richard Boyd,.. (aka Richard Boyd )
Kevin Barry ( aka ‘Kevin’ )…
Ralf (aka ‘rogallo‘ )
The tall guy in blue coat is Big Keith (aka ‘keith’ ) …
next is Stephen (aka stephen.shannon )…
then the tallest guy of the lot is Chris ( aka EI1683 )
beside him is Les, wearing a silly peek hat with false long orange and green hair, (I should point out that it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend) and just behind Les is
Fred (aka ‘Fred’ ) and next is a new comer on the day called
Joe.
Finally of all those standing is another new comer on the day who’s name I can’t remember.

Turning to those squatting in front, on the left is
 John Pearson, (aka JohnPearson also refered to as JP )
Then, with his arms outstretched is me, (aka ‘Happy Days‘ ) and finally, sitting on an old car tyre (sorry that should read automobile tire) and draped in the national flag is
Diane. Diane forms the other half, or perhaps I should say the ‘better’ half, of Richard.

And the one person you can’t see in the picture is Roisin who is John Pearsons better half. You’ll see Roisin in other pictures of the event wearing a white jacket and hood.

So, now you’ve met the ‘Family’ so to speak.

Keith (sometimes known as little keith)

Freedom Flyer:
Keith,

Thanks so much for the clarification of those pictured. As I look back through the pictures it's nice to be able to put the names to the faces. Incidently, Car "tyre" or "tire" is fine, I certainly don't call my vehicle an automobile, I aint that proper  :).

I have a question concerning the little ASW that Richard was flying, our local hobby shop is selling those things and I've been curious as to what wind conditions they will handle.

Is that Orange and Yellow plane a Gentle Lady sitting in that bush? They are just a good ole' stand by.

You guys look like a great bunch of people, and that a great time was had.  We could only be so lucky to have a group like yours to fly socialize with. And hats off to the sweet ladies taking care of you gentlemen while you're out flying, that's pretty cool to see some wives involved with the group. Keep the pics coming, I'm going to make sure to share these with my brothers. Tracy (FF)
