out of the gloom

The autumn flying drought continues, but Eric and Simon report back from an age long past, an epoch which lasted all of about forty eight hours; The British Summer!


Baldock readies itself for a day of aero towing




 Fox's flat field flight fettle




 radio fettle




failed servo fettle





 the starting grid




 men looking up





Jef's sortie was a-ok





but his Minimoa looks rather mini all of a sudden





joiner envy




load test leads to haemorrhoid rupture




Simon aspires to be part of the infamous 'Ghost Squadron'
