SWAMPS Sunday 19 July 2015

David C's Giant Aeromaster

Swamps Sunday 19 July, what a perfect day for the middle of winter. Plenty of sunshine and next to no wind, for the few that turned up, a great days flying. Field is in great condition for this time of year and track in is good also, only exception is the first gate if there has been rain the day before, just gets a little slippery on top due to cows but solid underneath. Days are rare like this, this time of year so make the best of them........

Bairnsdale ACTIO'n Scale day 7/8 March 2015

The newest state field Bairnsdale and some of the models that attended the opening and scale day

A nice clear day, with some wind in the afternoon, but plenty of flying done.

What was to be a casual day out for the Chigwiddens, turn out to be a very successful one.

The Fairy Gannett taking out the pilots choice award and myself winning the Barry James flight realism award.

This award in memory of Barry, who passed away recently and in recognition of his love for scale flying.

Being the first to win this award from a top club and some of the finest bunch of men and wives I know, will be proudly displayed.

So if you want to meet a some wonderful people and fly on a top new field,

GO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!
