I thought it was a real one!


'I thought it was a real one' she said




....and for once, it flippin' well was!





Actually, they're all real.... it's just that
this one has real live people inside it.


This wasn't the lowest pass of the day by the way.



good to see the 'real ones' also have trouble
with their retract doors too




it made a lovely whistle




sailplane anoraks get their
spotter's jotters out




this isn't a real one.... well it is, it just isn't
one with real people inside, and it's a little
bit smaller than the ones with real people inside.

rapid racy rarity

 

This lovely little mover turned up on the hill recently.....



...and he had a superb model with him.
FYI it's a Multiplex 'Twist' , they were produced
some time around the early nineties.


With its RG14 wing section, high aspect ratio
and funky move busting qualities, think of it
as a pint size Alpina but with a bit more whizz!



If you find one for sale and need a handy little aerodynamic play-thing, then snap it up.



Problem is they're so rare, you're lucky if you even get a photograph of one!
