Taken at ramming speed on the club’s boat. 😎 Well, at least I missed you 🤣 Best not mention the inverted flypast with the Kingfisher though 🤫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futura57 Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 For me it has to be a couple of low flying shots caught by my clubmate Michael Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Disorderly Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 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 Sweet dual landing (Minion piloting the Decathlon) 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Disorderly Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 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! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an extra slim twin, but not to worry as I have another, although I may well convert to electric.

Duncan Disorderly Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Full Cub sequence - DUCK! This is at about half speed as GIFs get a bit hectic any faster. I remember thinking, when he swooped down low, that at least I'd be able to show them what happened at A&E... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Disorderly Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 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 Blue Angels landing 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 At a Banbury fly-in day Not a formation you see often! Autogyro slot @Steve Jones 2 not sure if you ever saw these? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Green Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 (edited) 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!

David Davis Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Cooper Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Pics taken today. Two youngsters, age 6 and 9, came to the club field to see what the hobby is all about, and they both had several goes on the trainer. They had a great time. . . and will be back to learn how to fly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 The model "flying" picture I am most proud of is now quite old and of rather poor quality as its a still from a video. Nevertheless it could almost be a shot from a Concorde "display" pass rather than of a 36" span lightweight EDF built entirely from 2mm Depron sheet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
