Pete B Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 That's really bad luck, Paul - I saw a couple of pics of the puddles and it didn't look at all pleasant... Seems to be a technical hitch with our roving snapper, so here's a few more from the first despatch... Looks dodgy... ...but all's well!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'll be at the next one. I should've took wellies and used all the spare socks I had in the caravan - and all shoes were wet. Also some models engines were soaked with water - and the generator, so decided to go home, get everything checked out before flying again. Just was fed up, really and really lost my enthusiasm - especially there were no traders - Merlin Innovations to fuel my "retail therapy" Was going to go today, but was chucking it down here and that didn't help - went into work instead to do some overtime. Ho-hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Good forecast today ? get lots of flying and pictures done John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Monday - started well but without the Burger van turning up. Greenacres chairman Reg though, rescued that situation with two more trips out to buy provisions and by lighting up the barbie again. Lots of flying was had in the morning, but with the forecast showing rain from lunchtime, many folk packed up and left. When the rain did start, the decision was made to get everything packed up and flying was stopped. It turns out that the weather cheered up again later. But after the weekend we'd suffered it was probably the right decision at the time. Here's a few shots from a successful morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Winks Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just lovely especially that odd looking Blohm and voss ??? with 6 edf units I thought they were a twin pusher rig to be fair the only one I've ever seen was in the indiana jones movie looking promising for the end of next month as if I remember correctly this weekend last year was blazing hot and wet in june so hopefully fortunes are reversed this year Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I do hope you're right about the weather Phil. That EDF is an Arado I believe. 555 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Winks Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Your right of course Chris I was thinking of this but with props really slightly similar, well from the front view any way Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Very similar, I agree Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Winks Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 of thread a little but look what I found strikes me a design and build coming up Blohm & Voss P-170-av never built but looks a real eye catcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Looks like the Naboo fighter from Star Wars Ep. 1 The idea probably came from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
