throwback thursunday


What were you up to on the 9th June 2019 ?


Judging by the evidence that has come to light on a spare SD card, it looks like a few of the usual suspects went flying. Floaty conditions and stunted thermals IIRC








A rarity these days..... 
no! make that a double rarity (just checked my 'Eye Spy Slope Side Rarities' pocketbook)
not only a 35 meg aerial, but (I kid you not) a length of cassette tape thermal indicator to boot.

Eric donated 1cm of Diamond Tape, Paul offered up his in-car entertainment system
(his being the only car ancient enough to still have a cassette deck)
and after feeding the delicate ribbon into the rollers we all enjoyed a
never-ending 4 second loop of  'She' by Demi Roussos.




Joe preferred to enjoy his lovely little DLG





Eric dug out his 'No.4'
a bargain swap meet bitsa






'wing joinus maximus'





unfortunately the wing doesn't quite mate with the fuz
but what's a few mismatched bolt holes among friends!





Lift dummy Joe confirms you'll need something
a bit more floaty than a Middle Phase





No.4 it is then!




after another delve into the Eye Spy book
we i.d. the wing as a John Stevens 'Eliminator'
18 months and one pandemic later, we still
haven't got a clue about the fuz!





but she goes like a good 'un!
