Must be COLD, Graeme is wearing long pants. |

Brian has this slow model for when brain is fading. |
The Texan decided to withdraw its services for the day. |

Excellent Weekend
We like to have visiting pilots and friends. |
Shane was first into the air very early on with his Rookie-2. |
Dave Lewis was next. |
BIG -- isn't it! |
Andy flew his AJ Slick for the first time getting the heavy certificate organised.
A little bit of help from a local. |
Looks great in the air. |
Rob flew his Super Scorpion beautifully. |
Rod flew his upgraded Rookie-1 |
Nice work. |
Ian just wanted to tune up the Cessna. |
Later, Shane made a text-book wheels-up landing after his nose wheel departed upon take-off. |
SUNDAY, we had a visit from Scott, who had his dates muddled, but enjoyed slightly better weather to fly his 4 Metre ASW Glider.
Wonderful flying with great sound effects. |
Cheers Geoff :)

Wednesday
Cold wind today, but westerly, so that wasn't so bad.
Rob is wearing what he calls his winter shorts.
Kev is standing next to his latest creation - a stack of 4 - Count them, FOUR models, plus the wings are somewhere.
What an inventive and versatile bloke.
One of the other Kevs', on the left in the pic, brought along his new model, a very nice looking Tiger Moth, electric of course, he just wanted to get it set up, range checked and tuning the stabiliser so no maiden flight today, we wait with bated breath.

Threed of June
With a lousy-looking start of the weather some of us turned up anyway.
It was well worth it, after the drizzle stopped, light wind along the runway and nice and clear.
So clear that Marty came prepared for a LOT of flying.
Tiloh had a fly of the Easyglider, while John flew the TwinStar.
Bruce B had a smooth landing in the outfield.
A very good morning.
Cheers Geoff :)
