Looked like a great weekend. Thanks for the pics and writeup Fred. Aermacchi looks stunning and a well deserved first place JP.

Hi guys

Sorry for the delay in posting my photos, been busy putting together a cnc hot wire cutter. So here are a few pics that Roisin took from the weekend, which was a great start to the flying season.



























The last photo is with Roisin and Fred, who finally loves custard  :lol:  :lol:


Thanks for a great weekend and see you all next month at BigL.

Thanks John for the photos!.
I'll delete the last one. Wait no, I print it, then burn it. More dramatic effect!

Vive le Flan!!  :twisted:

What a difference a week makes.

Sunshine and T shirt! Not much in the way of lift though, looked like the paraglider guys were struggling. I just happened to be passing (with responsibilities, so no gliders), so I've no personal experience of the lift yesterday, but my impression was very little.





(Now I know why I prefer to take photographs, rather than have them taken of me...)

Happy Days

Yeah, it’s a bit of a bugger, the weather I mean. Like Chris I’ve been up the mountain a few times since the glide-in and it’s been lovely and sunny. Oh well…… :roll: ..

By the way lads, how did the Bring & Buy go. Did anyone buy anything? Or were everybody's wallets frozen shut?
Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.
