I think we’ve found it. It’s rather nice…. https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/151687-if-you-have-flown-by-betty-huyler-gillies/

Morning all. An unusual request but, one of our club founder members recently passed away and, at his funeral, he asked that a poem ‘if you have flown’ be read. Trouble is, the family can’t find the poem and a web search has shown anything. Can anyone help please?

How many flyable models do you have?
David Ashby replied to David Ashby's topic in Model Flying Polls
I just had a little count up, it's 30 ready to g - the majority gliders - with Rx, and about 5 more that fly every now and then when an Rx needs a home. -

Someone once said "the person with the most models wins", I think that may just be you Brian 😉 -
No, sadly not.

Hi Erick, I'll ask Tony if he still has his.

I'm sorry to report that Peter passed away in hospital on Sunday. He was 87. Ironically I was only chatting to him last week, I gave him a call to see if he'd kept a record of the designs he'd had published and he said it was just shy of 200, the first being in 1974. He'd written for just about every UK model flying publication, several in the USA too, not forgetting his books too. Aside from his prodigious output, I always found him very easy to chat to and work with, a super gentleman. He'll be much missed.

Just to revive an older topic but did any meet-ups happen chaps?

Saturday was a day for the second Kent Interclub ‘2M Glider Free-4-All Challenge’ competition. It’s a very relaxed format designed to attract new flyers to silent flight thermal comps; Radians, bitsa models and F5L machines all flew. The weather just about came good and a very enjoyable day was had by all, so more dates will no doubt be allocated for some 2025 events.

Hobby room ready for the winters projects.
