Dick,

As you know I'm away at a wedding in the States. I have just checked the weather forecast for tomorrow and it looks perfect. I am very jealous - have a great day everyone!

RE: Winter Jets at Abingdon
 

bringing ol' faithful - the F-86.
Can't believe our luck, forecast 2 or 3 days of decent weather at last.

Looks like the weather is going to play ball once the fog clears and allow me to make the long trip south at last.

Bringing ye olde faithful Bobcat with Weatronic 2.4 and Merlin 90 kero start. Just need a spotter, should be plenty available judging by the numbers.

Dick ;-) told you I'd had a word, seems I've been good this year and everytime I demand he listens...
Loaded, only four on board CARF Hawk, Graupner Inspiration, BVM Bandit ARF and Fast Spark, oh and a Squall 3s for afters. Several toys being brought along for me to enjoy, BVM Rafale with two P160's :-)), the AW Panther and GJC L-39, plus who knows what else.
Loaded with early Xmas presents! Four turbines for lucky people and two for the undecided. Bottle of something special for Dick ;-) plus a selection of parts.

I'll be there with an F-86 powered by one of John Wright's new Sprite engines. Also bringing my Bobcat just to show Rob R and Duncan that they do fly well:D.

There a few of us meeting at the first Little Chef as you come off the M40 on to the A34 at 7.30 sharp if any of you fancy it.

Have a good day guys

I was hoping to attend, would have been my first CJ but had family commitments for this weekend. Hopefully be able to get to the next one, be nice to meet you guys one day. Enjoy...............

Cheers, Alex

lol it was today was it.......well still had commitments, note to self don't assume there at weekends :)

RE: Winter Jets at Abingdon
 

Once the fog lifted it turned into quite a nice if a little cold day. One of the many highlights for me is John Wright's little Sprite engine being flown by Jason in his £90 F86 Sabre, well done John and Jason.

More pics later, need to fly now.

Rob.

RE: Winter Jets at Abingdon
 

Many thanks to Dick and all other helpers for yet another super smooth event. Other toys of note....poor man's Bandit, the Graupner Inspiration, seems like no sacrifice in quality...mmmm....Inspiration + Rabbit/Merlin 90 = Rocket Ship ;)

Also Mark H's F14.....a whole lotta model, Ali's big Hunter and Geoff's "Hack Duck Billed Plattypuss".

Thanks also to Ian W. for spotting for me and Jason for the loan of the allen key (left my tools at home....drrrr).

Rob.;)

RE: Winter Jets at Abingdon
 

Another grand day out at CJ so a big thanks to Dick and Co, from a misty very cold start to the day it finnished off with a glorious golden glow from the sun making for some great shots, just the one for now many more to follow, sorry Ali i know you don't like HDR shot but could'nt resist the afternoon sun lit it a treat, rest assured rest of the shots will be normal
