ANOTHER GOOD SATURDAY TURNOUT!

The weather was favourable and I counted fifteen pilots preparing their models for flight.  In addition, two new members joined the club.

Steve and Stewart fired up their 'bipes' and enjoyed some close proximity flying!

Stewart managed to track down a nice scale pilot for the office in his 'Tiggy'.  Leather flying jacket, sheep wool collar and of course, the obligitory white silk scarf.

Thinking about a name for him, Mark thought it would be a nice idea to call him 'Tubby' Dash.
Tubby was chief Flying instructor at the Ulster Flying Club and was a truely wonderful person.
He examined me for my PPL.

Rob dusted down his favourite model and flew it like a man demented.  Must see if I have a spare throttle servo to lend him!

Johnny had his new Messerschmitt 109 along for its maiden flight. (Sorry - no pic at this time.) 

Chief test pilot Brown put it through its paces and commented, "it flies beautifully".  A relieved Johnny went home a very happy man.

A most enjoyable Saturday was had by all.

My Mama told me, " there would be days like this".
