Peter 'Captain slow' Addyman has uploaded a video to youtube of Geoff flying his Hunter.

Absolutely amazing flying by another "Jet Legend" Geoff White. While I sit here dreaming of being able to fly like that I can't help but think that Jamie has some competition for being the best of the best.

I live in awe of both of you.

Cheers Mick, hoping to get out both days this weekend if the forecast does not change too much as it is looking quite good at the moment . . . . . . going to need more fuel soon!
Dizz took a few photos, turned out to be a very good day.

After the recent trials and tribulations, not to mention pants weather, it was good to have a decent day out at Merryfield with all the chaps again. Not sure where my flying mojo has gone, but after a day like today I'm sure it will be back soon. Took a few photos: Pat's Raptor (how low?), Jamie's Super Bandit, Hawk looked very good with smoke against the blue sky, Captain Slow had his new xmas toy out, Bob Cat suffered a little dink on landing but will be soon fixed and finally the Cake-eater's retro icdf Viggen (which was going like stink).

Great day out! Lots of good flying, but the icing on the cake for me was Jamie's classic OS 91/Ramtec DF Viggen - a real blast from the past!

As a matter of interest I Dopplered the Viggen. 5 runs pretty consistent with 130-134mph air speed.
