Dear All
I have just received an email from Dutch scale legend Jan Hermkens
informing me that, Jan and three of his club mates will be attending this event again this year.
Jan last came over in 2011.
Here is a brief description of some of Jan's achievements in scale/stand off scale competitions.
24x Dutch National Champion ! :
9x in Waterflying (continous from 1982 till 1990!)
3x in F4C (FAI Scale),
3x in Large Scale,
9x in Stand-off Scale.
International Results: Between 1988 and 2004, I was:
8x Dutch Open Champion Stand-off Scale + 2x Runner-Up
1x German Open Champion Stand-off Scale. (The only foreigner ever !) + 1x Runner-Up
6x EUROPEAN CHAMPION Stand-off SCALE ( Europa Star Cup)+ 1x Runner-Up
1x Winner Graupner Euro Bodenlake Cup for Scale Waterplanes
Winner of 40 International Scale Contests in: NL, D, P, CZ, A, CH, F, GB, B.
Jan is hoping to bring along his B17 nine 0 nine or his P61 Black Widow,
or if possible both of them.
After this event Jan is off to flying legends at Duxford and he also plans to visit Old Warden
and Bassingbourne.
To say that I am pleased that Jan is coming over to Tibenham with his superb models is an understatement.
Here is a link to his website and below is a some pictures of onsome of Jans models.
