Visits in the year 2003.
After a hard day walking the show tents and watching the excellent flying, then this is the ultimate reward - a good dose of 'sock sniffing'.
Or is the smell from the nearby bins? This was at the Weston Park Spectacular in June.
I said to him 'don't lose your head', but he wasn't supposed to take it literally.
If you have never appreciated the power in the wind, then get one of these large kites so that you to can get 'legless'.
Even at night the search for that elusive super model does not falter - what dedication to the sport.
Visits in the year 2000.
This is the team who put on the excellent show at Barton Airport Open Day in
May 2000. The organization was excellently done by Mr. Alan Cantwell, who
received many thanks from the organizers and they looked forward to having us
visit them again in 2001 !!
This is the "Philip Vandries" supporters club at the National Championships
in August 2000 where Philip won the Fun Fly title. Philip is sitting on the
front row on the left holding his Certificate to prove.
This shows the "team" taking time out at the Southport Air Show held during
1999. What a scorcher of a day it was - and what a view. Sat on the beach at the
front getting somewhat sunburnt, but enjoying every minute as the full size
Tornados etc. scream over-head.
Is it possible to fly indoor models "outdoors" ? It is at the Oldham Club -
weather no problem !! It was not the best of weather, but the Northern Area IFO
demonstration team had no problems in the snow. Fortunately there was zero wind
and no walls to hit.
