What a difference a color scheme can make - any idea what this now rainbow looking cub started life as before it was traumatized by this outrageous color scheme - will the flying visibility be improved or not? - for those who may be tempted to recreate this in full or in part all paint can be sourced from our very own Paul D at fulldip.ie  or on 086 255 5611 and comes in easy to use spray cans with satisfaction guaranteed.

Bevan has been busy this week completing the covering of his SE5A WW1 biplane - not long now before we see it flying in Rw - I love the clean and well organised workshop - think he might like boats as well !

A few photos from yesterday in Roundwood – the weather was excellent, the pilots in flying form(excuse the pun) – no dinks or dongs to report just excellent landings throughout the day – we welcomed some old friends with plenty of tea, cakes, chat and craic. The bush pilot took to the air after his camouflage attempt and showed us how a bush plane should be flown - very impressive indeed – I am reliably informed that touch and go’s on the lake will be his next endeavor – lets hope there is not a big splash!!!
