A view out towards the Forest of Dean from Selsley.

The "tump" (prehistoric burial mound) is on the left of frame and the "Millenium Stone" is on the right.

Phil's Pegase landing in a hayfield (or that's what it looks like) The grass is about 18" high on Selsley at the moment (June) because the cows aren't out yet

Phil's Pegase on a flypast

I've also saved this photo at 1280 x 1024 resolution for use as a desktop wallpaper.

A Zeitgeist (I think) being launched from Selsley.

I had one of these back in the 1970's - it's a beautiful flier.

Oh - and Phil flying his Pagase...

Beautiful sky photo over Selsley.

Also available as a 1024 x 768 wallpaper image (opens in new window)

Lovely aerial shot of Selsley Common.
This is the North slope and we fly from the "tump", which is just visible as the dark area above the nose cone. The slope drops away to the road on the left and you can see the large landing area to the right of the picture.
Photo from Phil Wirght's Miraj

Ahhh, this is the life! A lovely summer's day on Selsley and Phil's Pegase is circling in a thermal....

Phil the photos newly acquired Nyx. So how did he manage to fly the model, take the photo and dodge the paragliders, all at the same time?

p.s - the paragliders are a lot further away than it looks in the photo.

Phil said "just" fly closer, then bank it over towards the camera. And on the 15th attempt I actually managed to do it!

Andy's 1/3 scale Skylark takes to the air again. Looks fantastic...

Maiden flight of Paul's Flair K8. Looks great in the air. ...Nice one Paul!

The picture was taken at Selsey on 24/09/2004. During the course of the afternoon the choppy 15mph wind gave way to gentle smooth lift allowing paragliders and a hang glider to take to the air.

Something a little different. Mike bought this Eagle as an unfinished ancient secondhand project. After several unsuccessful attempts to get it flying it finally took to the air. However it did need a V-tail and flat (instead of curled up wingtips) to make it fly properly. Paintjob was done using an airbrush, 3 or 4 shades of brown paint and simple feather shaped masks made out of cardboard. Pigeons take drastic avoiding action as soon as they get a glimpse of it in the air!

Alan again, this time with a Flair(?) K8

Alan's 1/3 scale Minimoa over Selsley.

Andy Westgates Crested Wren in the air. Looks superb...

Star of the Scale/PSS comp was Doug's brand new Whirlwind. Around 6ft wingspan, the fuz is a basic box, clad in blue foam then covered in brown paper. Wings are veneered foam. Looked absolutely superb!

A closer view of the line up.

Pete's 110 inch Hercules coming in for an enforced landing due to lack of lift!

Close up on Andy Westgates Wren. Really nice...
