Didn’t think January Flying was like this!

Didn’t think it was possible to have a turnout like this in January!! Especially as it was still cold and there was still some snow on the ground.

Turned up at 10am at the gate to find Just Mick and Ian there, but soon were were joined by a few more and by the time we signed in we had a modest group and one potential new member who had been invited along for a demo flight.

The trusty club Demo Model was assembled, fuelled and tested and Matt had a couple of flights on the buddy lead with Mick, hopefully didn’t scare him off and he will be back!

After the first hour more members started to turn up and in the end we seemed to have more people on site than we do on some summer days, it was really good to see and i managed to hand out a lot of the BMFA renewals and membership cards to all those present.

Really great start to the flying year (although strictly speaking there has been flying days before this!!) check out more of the pictures from the day on the 2018 photos.

Nice November Day and so many ….

Nice November day and we had a great turnout at Dishforth, potential new members coming along for look see and a test flight, a maiden flight and I actually managed to get some time on the sticks!

Mick did a superb job with the club model giving a couple of potential new members a demo flight, many thanks to Richard for looking after and bringing along the model.

imparting some skills.
Photographic proof that Adrian was actually in the country!
Had to add this picture in as it’s had me in stitches, Might have to use it in a caption contest….guys the plane is right in front to you!!!!!!

A warm day in October???

Needed a couple of pictures for the Club Magazine so decided to swing by Dishforth and see who was out.

As it happens there were quite a few people out braving the strangely warm winds and getting some flying in.

I snapped a couple of pictures and was on my way as it was way too windy for me to fly anything I had with me.

anyway hope you like the pictures and heres hoping we get more warm October days!
