Peter's Ash26 easy to fly in the smooth lift, skill needed to land |
New
17/02/06 Amazing coincidence! ...Bryan managed to crash into a
branch at exactly the same time as Phil was taking a photo!
...Seriously though, a fine bit of photography by Phil the Photo :-)
Incidentally, you can just see the Frocester Hill flying site in the
distance (top middle of the photo) |
Andy and his Weasel. |
Bryan's Graffitti. |
Mike's Merlin. |
Hmm....
I wonder if this is going to work? All these photos were taken by
Dave (pictured here) from his Graffiti. Thanks for the photo's Dave. |
Except
for this one....This is how Cam Long Down looks from a pilot's view. Dave's
seen here doing a flyby with the Graffiti. Cam Long Down is a nice site,
spoilt only by the fact you have to park at the bottom of the hill and
walk up. Hence it doesn't get used much! |
High
up, looking back down at the pilot's. |
High
up again, looking out to the SW. The river Severn is in the distance on
the right and the town of Dursley is just visible in the centre of the
picture. Can you see the other 2 models in the air? (look close to either
edge of the wing) Cam peak is just off the end of the wingtip. |
A
view of the ridge. Cam Long Down is a long, narrow ridge with not much
in the way of landing area. The river Severn is visible in the distance
again. |
Looking
along the ridge again. |
Nope,
there's definitely something wrong about this photo.....the ground's the
right way up, but the wing's on top of the photo this time.
Ah-ha, got it....the plane's upside down! Not only is Dave mad enough
to strap a camera to his model, he's flying it upside down as well. Then
again, anyone who knows Dave will know that this is pretty normal flying
for him......The Graffiti & a limbo comp spring to mind...... |
