Well the New Year has arrived but sadly no good weather so no flying but we have taken this opportunity to add a new page to the web site to show the world what our members have on the building boards.

The new page is called " new projects" and Liam has kicked things off with the build of his 1/4 Scale Waco already posted - this will be updated as work proceeds should be a great model.

But before you see his creation - look how well our groundsman keeps the fairways - what a man !!!

 

Unseasonable weather prevents flying but !!!!!!!!!!

The unseasonable weather may not have permitted flying but as the members were fully charged and ready for action today they decided to turn their hands to site improvements. After some initial planning, checking of materials , sorting of tools, some head scratching and  the necessary (severall) cups of tea, the small army of dedicated workers set about their allotted tasks to extend our fencing area to make ready for more benches in our pitts area. Yes it is true many hands do make light work. The area looks great - ready for the next stage soon.

We have had a great spell of fine weather over the last few days and this has led to some of the storage queens making an appearance. As well as this we have had birthday celebrations on the field and a delicious cake for us all from his wife.

Enjoy the pictures of planes and cakes
