RE: Winter Jets at Abingdon
 

Great day, like me at breakfast the good weather eventually arrived (I only asked for no rain and light winds :-) I'll remember no fog next time.
Big Big thanks to Dick and crew who give up a day for our fun, I had a great day, plenty of sales, plenty of flying and no problems with any of my models, perfect day.
Robbie test flew his MB339 P160SX, DSX-12, looked great, four more flights on Richard Johnson's Panther and four on the Inspiration in calm conditions-final dialling in done! Couple on the CARF Hawk, one on the fast Spark.
Rob Westwater had his Kingcat out, Trevor Skedge his P60 powered Inspiration and lots more

brilliant day as usual, and worth waiting for the fog to clear.

Great pics!

Loved it!

It's a shame Pim didn't fly his Gnat IC DF, I don't remember a CJ where he didn't fly it! The pictures make it look colder than it was, thinking I'm sure the fog had something to do with Dick's cooking!

RE: Winter Jets at Abingdon
 

Brilliant day! Thanks to all you chaps who came and made it so good. I'm looking fwd to seeing Lozza's pics but, menawhile, here are a few I took in my 1/2 hour escape period this afternoon!

Cheers,

Dick

And one of the Panther...horny looker, flown so well...and an Inspiration...and Geoff's F-5...

What a great day.......Pity about the cold morning fog, but the afternoon was tops!!

Great to catch up with a few people rather than chatting through interweb.

Some lovely models to be seen....Panther, 2 Ultra B's, Skygate Hawk, F-14, "Miss D" Hunter, to name a few.
Was also good to see up to 5 models eagerly waiting at the side of the runway to get a spot in the clear winter sky. These events bring out the keenest flyers about....I think DW wore a groove in to the pilot's box after spending so much time there!

Thanks again Dick and the gang!!

It was only 12 flights! If I had taken the correct PCM 10x for my Bandit ARF it would have been more!

Inspiration clocked up a fair few flights . . . . very quiet! was so glad that i managed to get there for the last couple of hours, a not to be missed event!

For those interested in the stats, the ratio between 2.4 and 35 mHz users was exactly 10 : 1 . Poor old Trevor feels redundancy creeping in!

As ever, credit for the hard work goes to Christine Spreadbury, Sue Garrett, Trevor Cook, Selwyn Read, Phil Male, Andy Aldridge, Keith Whiddett, Rog Kilbey, Ian Bailey, Geoff White, Mark Littlewood, Stevie Rawlings, the Anima, Paul Heckles and Alistair Powers...thanks to you all, plus, of course everybody who came and gave us a good day out!

Merry Xmas to you all...I'll be in touch shortly with 2010's dates!

Cheers,

Dick

Yep, big big thanks to the dream team, the CJ events are always smooth...from the outside!

Great day's flying thanks to Dick and his team for organising it yet again.

Heres my contribution to the pics.

RE: Winter Jets at Abingdon
 

Yet another great CJ,s after a foggy and frosty start temp shot up to 40 (f). Many thanks to Dick and co.
Here are a few more pics, I must say there are some very good ones already on.
