Well, at least I missed you 🤣

 

Best not mention the inverted flypast with the Kingfisher though 🤫


“Mum’s the Word” 🤣

 

Artistic license and holding your nerve trumps! 💪

A few pics from the old Sulgrave site of the Banbury club - now an unsightly blot on the landscape courtesy of HS2 (a 300m wide cutting for a tunnel exit)

Mark Holman always turned out an immaculate plane

A very detailed foamy P-51

Returning from tugging a glider - towrope just visible

Kept disappearing into the sky - too thin for its own (photographic) good and even when I could see it it was too fast!

Another foamy returning from a sortie

Doesn't work with the prop in any other position!

Stu getting in some pyro practise for Weston Park - missed the plane though

Taken by a clubmate of me landing my Sebart Pitts

 

 

 

Literally thousands more but they're unsorted and on another PC. I'll get around to it...

 

 

 

In the meantime, here's a red kite showing us all how to do it

Stu flying! No, really!

Clive's Cub low from the right.

 

Eventually I went out and laid as flat to the ground as I could and he flew it right over my head, capturing this beauty (which was published in the back of RCM&E)

...and yes, it was potentially as dangerous as it looks... but what a pic!

   Looks familiar but just can not name the model, Twin something or other?

It was an extra slim twin, but not to worry as I have another, although I may well convert to electric. Photo prior to the abrupt arrival of terra firma .

Optical illusion - it's not me flying straight and level with a Space Shuttle launching in the background, it's me flying knife edge directly overhead across a contrail

- a deliberately posed shot

Shot into the light but I like the smoke trail and the sheep

My avatar pic. Hopeless really but I've always liked the movement in it. I'd been taking heli pics, trying to get the blades as a whole disc (and failing miserably),

so when my clubmate grabbed my camera to take this pic of me taking off, the camera still had the slow shutter setting

John I bought the flying jacket from a jumble sale especially to match Ken's for that photo!   

Here's Ken himself with the SQ at a recent Ponty S/C & Retro R/C event (he was chuffed to bits at the recreation!)

Turns out it wasnt his RCS Digithree in the 1968 mag - he'd borrowed it and was still flying reeds!

My Baron, Boris, competing in La Coupe Des Barons in 2018. The white model was being flown by a thirteen year old girl, one of a pair of twins. Ok she was on the buddy box with her dad. Her sister flew another Baron. I haven't seen them since. They'd be young ladies today with other interests and priorities.
