norbertflyer Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Jock, did you find out if Haresfield was on for Sunday from Tony? or will you be at Powick all day instead? If you're only doing a quick dash to Powick, I'll stay local again. Richard ps - good flying today from new Clent site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 ive got to pick a hg up from cheltham in the morning.then sean wants to go c/morten, Lots of mist 2day but we got a ttb at castle/morten between the mist.pics of 2 trees going for it,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Tried a quick one from Clent but soon realised VFR was compromised with the mist and aborted any hope of distance flying. Great shots from CM Jock, what's the old wing? Will be out on the motor for most of the week flying somewhere, should the mist allow. Let me know if you're out.

They can easily be stretched back again by hand. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbertflyer Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Still looks like an old ITV Proxima to me. Jock, are you sure this is a Dakota? Dakota's only came out in the mid 2000's. Richard ps - cracking flying on the first flight (1pm-230pm) in (up to) 350 ft/min thermals today! Got to base with engine off in 15 minutes at 3,600ft.
