Colin made a short testflight with Ian’s GeeBee. It sounds very nice with that twin-cylinder engine!
July, 2009:
Wings and Wheels and a Rapide
The usual trip to Wings and Wheels incorporated a change to our normal routine this year, choosing to attend Wings and Wheels on the Sunday. Michael unfortunately couldn’t make it this year and a friend of Owens, Jack, took up the offer to travel with us!
We decided to visit Duxford Imperial War Museum on the Saturday, and after our pilot and navigator (who won’t be in the front next year!) took a slight deviation from our route (I think at one stage we passed a sign for Glasgow!), we arrived just before lunchtime and began the tour around this vast site.
We took a few photo’s so I wont go into what we seen but suffice to say there is plenty to see and do and all tastes in aircraft are catered for. The American flight Museum is crammed full of planes and would take a few hours just to take it all in. (more…)
Craigavon Fly In
We are holding at the Craigavon Cranny Road Site – same as 3dx Ireland site. Fly in is for 25th July and we will be having a BBQ for all who come along. Would like to see you guys down and even a display or two from your planes (very impressive from the last flight at 3dx i seen). If you and club members can make it down please let me know so we can estimate numbers and make sure the food is well stocked up.
See the website for more details
