Saturday in Roundwood

Good attendance and a bit of flying as well!

We had 2 maiden flights: Michael's Bix 2 by Tony and Himself; and a local family came along  for some help to get their similar foam glider (Bix 3)up and safely down - courtesy of our esteemed Chairman.

Tony also took off from water but landed on the runway (just in case) and got up close and personal with a tree later in the afternoon - nothing too serious.

Jim and Olly made some noise (Road maintenance work) and Fred flew the Canadair from grass.

Lots of fun and talk.

Despite the waterlogged runways we had an intrepid flyer eager to get into the air.

The incredibly wet weather is not a deterrent for all of our members. Our hardy annuals can be found enjoying water sports up on the lake. Some would say crazy others would say spectacular. Either way the lads are having a great time. just look at those cuties smile.
