Found this foamy on Frocester Sunday morning, see attachment. It has been been
buried in the bracken for a long time and is quite waterlogged and very tatty.

Please can you add it to your News letter.
The owner can claim it if he can name the make and model of receiver and say
what colour the underside of the wing is.

Met Andy at Haresfield. A good blow sometimes a bit too strong for my Fusion and Slipstream, but the Correx Flik flew well. 

Andy was practicing laps with his M60? not long now til the Boxing Day races. 

Phil turned up with his 'sans model' just to be sociable.
