We are hoping to sell these and they will be available to view on the day. Part of the proceeds will help in our raising of funds for future Scale Days. Please see the outline of what is available below and bring money/ leave room in your vehicles if you are interested. All items will be open to reasonable offers on the guide prices given on the day.

Simon Chaddock Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I intend to be there with my usual Depron only types. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I'll probably be there, too but, as I haven't flown for months, it'll be as a helper/spectator. Still struggling with my left eye cataract operation treatment - I'm OK to drive with one excellent eye (my brother's been doing that all his life) but I need a gentle re-introduction to model flying.

Nick Cripps Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Good day out at Ashbourne today. Weather was great, plenty of interesting models and lots of entertaining banter. Many thanks to Chris and the crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hooper Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 What a super day!😊 Many thanks to Chris and the guys for all their hard work and commitment. The weather was pretty much perfect - little wind and hazy sunshine. I counted over 80 models present - ranging from ARTF foamies to full-blown balsa masterpieces. All were welcome. Yes, there were one or two incidents, but that's the nature of the hobby, isn't it? 😎 Tim 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Good to see everybody and to have such perfect weather. A big improvement on last year and a host of excellent models. Tim, that last picture is in the wrong thread. Shouldn't it be in the new models thread along with Paul Marsh's new acquisition which will surely appear soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
