Saturday 40mph and no bull!


(apologies in advance for the lack of flying shots)



Phil comes and mingles with the riff-raff for the day



He brings with him the mighty Condor




meanwhile Mark's DG has a terminal incident





"His name is Robert Paulson"





Mark thinks it might be a 'digit to stick' issue, and so undergoes
a surgical procedure to reduce the size of his hand. This will allow
him to make minute adjustments to the sticks....



 ...or something




The Smack's volumous Vortex makes a noise like a Formula 1 race bike, and we're all
highly impressed....



until we discover is just a bit of farty Solartrim!




Mr Taylor is very happy with the Condor



and we are captivated by the grassy swathe for quite some time



Phil (53) from Devon also enjoys country walks, live music..... 




and sizeable sail planes

Lord of the Flies

Firle! we are inundated with procreating mayflies


















too much additional tail weight means we're grounded...




and with all these pheromones in the air, a man's mind turns to the pleasures of the flesh!




Simon seems happy to receive!




but one flash of that designer underwear...





and it's all over!




manly Axel is having no part in this perversion




but Kirk is less discerning...





where's Axel gone?






 he seems to be playing hard to get





meanwhile we have a jittery Nimbus to tinker with




range check looks promising




it's still not happy in the air though





a swap of receivers does the job





 Jim and wing....soon to destroy itself in a fit of flutter

No flying shots as usual, hopefully the video of events will remedy this situation in a week or so....
