Bit wet and windy?

Hi Folks, well another day draws to a close and another fly-in with it.

At one point (when the wx cancelled the Rotorway's trip), I thought that G-FEDA was going to be the only the chopper at our little fly-in

Then out of the blue or rather on the radio we heard G-EZZL, a Gazelle with Bill and Bob on board and our numbers were doubled

Throughout the day it rained sporadically and it was gusty, but Chris (who kindly manned the BBQ) soldiered on ensuring we all had our burgers and sausages

There were around 20 folk in the end with some pilots attending by car or bike...so at least we could occupy the kitchen (while it rained) and talk choppers.

Let's hope the weather is better next time (end of summer perhaps?) and we have a few more choppers..I will open a poll on dates for the next one, so we can account for all the other fly-ins that go-on.

Nappsfield might also be good for a winter fly-in...

Anyhow, thanks again to those who attended by whatever means
