Aerial Views

 Wednesday 11 January 2023

Just me and Rob B left at the field, he had his lovely new Mavic Mk3 mini so I requested some photos of the field.

Here's a small selection.

Many thanks Rob.

Cheers, Geoff.😎

Sunday

 Lovely weather for a change.

Cheers, Geoff 😎

Working

Guttering has now been installed on the shelter thanks to hard work by Dave, Ian and Rob plus others.  The drain installation is nothing less than a piece of art.

Take a look.

 

Excellent work

Another Day

 Sunday was a pleasant day though still very wet underfoot.

A highlight was the re-appearance of Ian's lovely CUB.
It has undergone a complete repaint to what Ian said is the CORRECT colour.

Take a look.

Cheers, Geoff 😎

Grey Day

 Total grey sky today and COLD, but no wind, flying activities proceeded apace.

Silver on grey sky, yellow patches to the fore

Latest in the hangar

Where's the menu for that?

Neat engine

My old glider found some lift for a while....... very surprised.

Cheers, Geoff  😎

Still Here!

 Yes, it's been a long time between updates.

Had lots of wet weather, mud and puddles everywhere, but yesterday, Sunday 24th was excellent as was last Wednesday, so a good crowd enjoyed great flying and a sausage sizzle, then more flying.

Doesn't get much better than that.

Hopefully, much more like this soon.

Cheers Geoff. 😎

Mid May Muster 2022

 Fabulous weather on Sunday 15th. Those enthusiastic souls who arrived on Friday had a Saturday of drizzle and occasional light shower, but this did not deter the intrepid aviators, much flying was happening on Saturday and there was the attraction of sausages sizzling on the BBQ under cover for solace.

Time now for some pictures of the event.........

Fibreglass moulding of P51

Close-up of a small part of the moulded-in detail.

Brians new BIG Swordfish flies after successful certification

Andy's new secondhand P40

Good-looking pilot.

Control-line flying demo....Too fast, lucky to pick a reasonable frame out of video.

Very nice detail in Brians new Spitty.

WHAT ARE THEY ALL LOOKING AT???

OOhh....... bent wing tube.

Leader of catering team, retiring.

Very nice retirement speech. Many many thanks to Carol-Anne.

Huge thanks also to wonderful team for their support.

Pilots choice trophy to Brian.

And why it was awarded.

Well, now all we have to do is await October 31st for the 

'Warbirds over Bairnsdale' event.  No doubt it will be just as spectacular.

Cheers, Geoff. 😎
