Pilrtton Hersey Esoaring Saturday 29th
Pillerton Hersey back on the MAP.
A special thanks to Geoff for organising, with out his initial drive this would not have happened. Every thing else that Bruce wrote. A big well done to John Richards, and a big thank you for timing me to one of my better flights and may be instilling some "that's how to do it" into my poor old brain, (Andy has been trying for a long while). Andy flew his new MAXA, very brave to enter a comp. after only 3 test flights, it will be good when he trims it to perfection. A big well done to Martyn and Phil for traveling a long way to support this event. Hope you are OK Marlene after your fall. Brilliant comp. weather, company and a visit from Mr. Hyperfight Neil, good to see you Neil. Another big thank you to Phil Hayward for providing excellent photos, yet again, thanks Phil. Bob .

NEWS ITEMS
I
thought you’d like to see my weird and wonderful creation. It’s
based on the Flair Taube, but I’ve changed the fuz to try and
recreate the early pre-flying days of flying. See attached. The farm
where my unit is, is called Gidley Farm...and there are so many Red
Kites soaring overhead...I’ve tried to capture their distinctive
silhouette in the air by making their wings, gull shaped with a flick
up at the tip...I’ve always thought Buzzards where the birds to
watch, but Kites.. wow! It’s a long slow build but I am getting
there....see what you think. Cheers Andy

Monday Tuesday A bit of HLG on Minch
I went to Malvern for the afternoon, I had a informal contest with
Cliff and lost 3 flights to 1
Wednesday That was well worth a trip out this afternoon. Thanks to all the lift scouts that sussed out when I should launch and catch some great lift. Phil just cannot sit still and wait, he was continually chucking out his Pegace, fetching back up and chucking again, but when the lift came he got up to 1000 feet high. Bob's BOT like Bird also flew gracefully, a joy to watch. Thursday
Friday I had one good flight on Minch with my Shadow
The wind increased in the afternoon, I tried flying at Selsley but changed to Frocester where we had some strong lift Tim flew his Middle Phase, Tom a Mini Ellipse and Guy miriJ
Saturday
.Sunday The flying took place at Frocester, the wind was on Haresfeild Latest photos at http://www.ebley.talktalk.net/photos2/?C=M;O=D
