Ollie:
Excellent photos!

Hi all,
Just thought I’d share some photos of models being built by the TT brigade over the winter.
First up is Denis Kelly’s Slingsby ‘Eagle’ from the Mike Trew plan. I’m not sure of the exact span, but it’s about 3.5m.

Next is Philip Hickey’s ASK 18 from the Cliff Charlesworth plan and Laser Cut Sailplanes semi-kit. 4m span

3rd is Pete Townsend’s 1:3.5 ASK 18. Can’t remember who does the kit, but at over 4.5m, this is a big model!

Last one up is my own Slingsby T21 Sedberg. 1:4 sc, 4m span, from the Frank Albrecht kit.

All models progressing nicely and should be ready to fly by the start of next season.

Regards, Gerry Buckley

Flamingo Flier:
Some very impressive modelling Gerry (and friends).

Fine workshops too - particularly the one with the AGA!

Hi all, a little update on new models on Tountinna. 3 of the 4 have been built, finished and flown successfully. They are a real pleasure to fly, and are now some of our first choice models to bring to TT.
Some photos to follow, hopefully they will appear.

Also included, a trio of Slingsbys. L to R… T21, T42, T30

Just a reminder, we plan to hold our second Glider Guider Gathering on TT on Saturday 7th September. All GG’s are welcome to attend. Looking forward to seeing you on the hill.
Regards, Gerry B.

Very nice Ger. Good to see there's some building still going on. I don't think I'll make the 7th Sept but hope you have a good day
