Some duration types now.

1,2 Tony Calvert's P18.  Big Smash

3,4 Steve Haines' Hangar Rat.  There's been a bit of a stealth programme going on with these.  I think we're now up to about half a dozen, including some electric versions.

Many thanks for the reportage, Lurk. I'll find time to dig in to this tomorrow.

I didn't see John trying to fly it, I was a bit busy with Olive, K5083 and Parish Council Admin - now there's a combination you'd struggle to find in any other context - but it did look pretty robust.

Steve Haines' new Hadland Fike Model E.  Pretty well sorted by the end of the session, couple of minor (for Steve) wrinkles to sort. 

It got a bit camera shy at one point. :)
