SWAMPS Sunday 23.8.15

"Any body for a club reunion",  certainly felt like it,  9 cars, 10 pilots and later a visit from a past president Peter Donovan.

Add a perfect day for flying and you have a great club day out, really good to see some faces that we haven't seen for some time and  catchup. Sky was busy, as you could imagine with all these pilots and there aircraft.

Planes, Heli's and Drones  made it a variety day.

 

 

 Chris H and son Clay with there collection of aircraft for the day. Chris fine tuning the Mitchell Bomber with its twin OS 56 four strokes before its maiden flight.
Later Clay, assisted by dad, has a fly of that trusty Red Zephyr.

Right we have Martins table of plane and heli's, the electric orange Stearman having its maiden flight on the day. Below that is Tim,s Piper cub, which had several flights during the day, a popular model on the day with 3 different sized yellow cubs present and below that is Mikes   S Bach warming up....

Above is Johns Piper Cub, Left is a car full of Bobby H's, under the covers are a few heli's. Below are David C,s OS 120 four stroke powered Spitfire and the Cessna 310 with twin Enya 46 fourstrokes, all craft taking to the air sometime during the day..

 All in all a good day was had by all, plenty of snags on the barbie for lunch and no major mishaps on the day, although there was a reported upside down landing with a drone by David K..... Fred C  happy to just relax and watch, later had a fly of David C,s electric cub. Hope to see many more days like this as the weather improves....
