Sunday 18th December 2011

A small band of toughies came out to fly.

Roger Appleboom showed us a new level of “hardy”, off came the boots, socks wrung out and then back on with the boots. With temperatures just above freezing that takes some doing---Martin Smith, can you beat that?

No sign of tension in either pilot’s face as slack is taken up on DMX: so exactly who has control?

Thanks to Sean and Martin Cropper we had a steady supply of first class winch launches, and in between launches Sean even serviced the gas cooker!!

Sean Parramore executing yet another 1,400ft launch for the K-13 into an interesting sky.

Roger Green completed his training and is now cleared to fly family and friends, well done Roger. BI rating next.

Several grinning muddy faces huddled around the stove at the days end.

Well done everybody.
