RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

In the 5th pic has Steve released some sort of horrible airborne toxic event, so Geoff is turning away trying to stop it burning his eyes?

Nice pictures - good to see someone getting out to play. WX not quite cooperating where I am[:@]

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Or as Geoff so kindly put it Al, "lipstick on a pig"!

No doubt, it's as fugly as fugly comes, but it does fly well!

Dick

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Thats harsh... but fair. :D
Aint nowt wrong with Fugly sport jets ;) Seems like they are all the rage at the moment.
I do remember having quite a few flights on Mark Hinton's Old G Booster powered Fox jet. Indeed, a good flying model.. Why is it that the ugly ones tend to fly so well?? :eek:
Regards AL

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

They have to else people wouldn't touch 'em... :D

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

I have from a good source that women are like that, the ugly ones give the best ride, personally I give the better ride a miss though [X(]

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Laurie,

Will be able to fly on either or both days at the weekend so if the weather behaves, lets get that F16 flown.

John - Have a good day tomorrow. I will be thinking of you as I am stuck at my desk, tapping away at the keyboard:(

Geoff.

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

I plan on heading up to Wroughton on Sunday, hope the weather is nice to us this weekend.

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Be good to see you Jamie...will you have room for the 510 and Lightning if I bring them along?

Cheers,

Dick

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Trial of uploading first pic- JS T33

Edited to add- anyone know if RCU reduces the resolution or changes the colour of the pics when it uploads?

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Love that F-104. Very nice Gotta love those Century Fighers.

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Dick,

Yes i should be able to squeeze them in. Have not been up to Wtn for a while, looking forward to it.

I might bring some prop stuff aswell.

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

A few I took of John Sanders' Mig 29 and Andy Bascombe's Hawk and Skyray back in Jan...

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Thanks for the Pic's Dick. We went to Wroughton today, but there was no flying due to low cloud/fog. The weather forecast was totally wrong.


John

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Duplicated post

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Thats a bummer John[:o]
Not to rub it in as I know you are working but the forecast is good for sat/sun so if Andy, Frank and Phil fancy flying I will be there.

Geoff.

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

We did fly today...................however, it was the latest member at Wroughton, my son Chris and his revamped 20 year old model..............a paint stirrer no less, at least I had a paper bag over my head so as not to be recognised !

Ian B

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Hi Geoff,
The forecast was good for today, it's hard to believe they actually pay forecasters for their predictions!!! I may be able to do something about Saturday availability, I'll be in touch.


John

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

That's a bummer John. I was working in Swindon this afternoon and the weather was OK...but Wroughton does have its own (cold) climate! Maybe it's worth making an arrangement to call Eddie for weather info before you set out?

Ian...I am getting a tad concerned abt the mention of paint stirrers (yours and Jamie's posts)...this isn't a covert attempt at infiltrating our jet club, is it?!!!

Cheers,

Dick

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

They are classic paint stirrers Dick! Crescent Bullet and Dirty Birdy 60 need the dust blown off! maybe the Tornado as well if the silencer turns up.

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Another cloud free and warm day saw lots of jet action at Wtn today...

John Sanders...T-33 and Mig 29
Phil Mackie...Bobcat
Frank DiCarlo...BVM Electra and Bandit
Loz Hughes...FlyEagleJet F-16
John Paisley...FalconSteve Elias...BVM Ultra Bandit
Big Geoff...Hunter
Me...Foxjet

Loz had his camera and light eating lens there, so quality pics should arrive soon...in the meantime, here are some I took... (BTW, the chap reclining in the chair is Big G and the other one is Loz)...

Cheers,

Dick

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

U know what Dick, as I was sat in the chair relaxing I was thinking 'if Dick saw me now he would take a picture...its the sort of thing he would do' :)

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Same again tomorrow?

RE: A few pics from Wroughton
 

Couldn't pass it up Geoff, U looked so chilled mate!

Jamie...just abt to start charging everything for tomorrow!

Cheers,

Dick
