Hi
Just a short report on the comp The start was delayed by fog that lifted about 10.30 during the wait it was amazing to see Jimmy the farmer and his friend Chris take off in the fog to fly off to get breakfast at another airfield When the fog lifted it was wall to wall sunshine and no wind for the morning ,when flying did get started lift was very light and so difficult to find Flying was stopped when Jimmy and Chris returned to land so the opportunity was taken to have a lunch break and also to allow one of the farm hands to rake the newly cut grass in the flying area After lunch the wind speed went up to about 6/7 mph so some people changed models (Martin will post results later) I would like to thank Bob for the help he gave to Richard Sells on Richards first comp When you see the results read Richard Sells 2mtr in place of James Morrison open Thanks again are due to Marlene and Teresa for their help During my report on the Pillrton comp I mentioned some names to look out for you will see from the results how good my predictions were Look forward to seeing you at next years comps Thanks for all your supports Cheers Bruce ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first image is my comp flight log, there was lift but it was weak

Newly listed items
Clearing through my garage to make some room I
came across a bungee complete with line and parachute, two hand tow winches,
one with an extended handle and 100 lbs breaking strain line for those
gorilla launches so important back in my active BARCS days.
The thing is these are now surplus to
requirements and I would like too offer them to either the SCSA or any
deserving soul who can make use of them.
I now live in Stone but still work in Nailsworth
Monday to Wednesday, who ever wants them I'm happy for them to collect.
Regards, Paul.
