Trinity indoor flying meetings

[TheLurker]

As I said earlier, you can guarantee that someone will be flying a Keil Kraft Elf at Trinity.  This one is John Whatmore's together with his OD Rearwin Bostonian

[TheLurker]

1 - Laurie Kirby's variegated Preston Frogwell Flyer

2-4 Lee Bates' Martinsyde Elephant

[TheLurker]

1 - Another of Lee's.  I think it's a Roland, but... if not please let me know.

2 -4 Mike Stuart's Elmendorf Special

[TheLurker]

Nick Peppiat's Guillows Swallow Model C Coupé

AUW 7.5g!  Flies for years. Weel mebbe no years, but it makes a minute look daft.

[TheLurker]

1 - I think this is David Herman's Gyminnie Cricket
2 - Paul Masterman's GC
3 - An unknown (to me) Bostonian from Rob Smith
4 - Steve Haines' 16" Keil Kraft Gypsy

Last two from Andy.

Richard Preston's tiny free flight version of the Boddington Barnstormer

All great photos.

The tan/brown Bostonian in post 179 looks like the Bostonair, by Perry Peterson, a take on the Sig Cabinaire kit.

Thanks to Andy for a magnificent set of photos and many thanks to Lurk for posting.

Most enjoyable, thanks to all concerned.

Not only OMFC today, but Trinity. A dearth of snaps from me I'm afraid.  I forgot to take my small Nikon point & click which focuses reliably and had to use my 'phone instead, which does not focus reliably so of 70 pics, 20 went straight into the bin.

There's a small handful of video clips with Chris and I'll deal with the 400+ (I'm not joking there're 450 of the beggars - blessed motor wind) in flight shots that Andy sent tomorrow.

Enough apologies and grumbling; some snaps.

1, 2 Andy Blackburn's Mooney Sparrowhawk, Hannan Bede 4 & OD B A Eagle as featured in AM a year or two back.

3,4 Gerard Moore's Helio Stallion.  AUW square root of nothing flat and flies for ever.  Jealous? Me? Why.... yes.

[TheLurker]

1 John Foster's BMFA Dart.  You can wring some really good flights out of one of these.

2 John Holman's OD Beast.  There's an ex-VMC fuselage in there somewhere

3,4 John Winfield's Henson* SE5a

*A now defunct Bristol Co. 

[TheLurker]

1, 2 Refugees from HPA I & II may recognise this. It's my K5083 from 8 or 9 years ago built from the VMC kit. It's pretty shabby, and hasn't been flown since before the great plague.  It had never been flown indoors, but I decided to give it a go today.  It worked.

3 Mick Langford's Mini Jet.  Something he cribbed from a SAMS magazine.  I know nothing more than that.

4 Mike Stuart's OD Laird Speedwing Junior. Mike was blowing the dust off some of his older models including this one.

[TheLurker]

Peter Smart's Sopwith Baby.  Flies very nicely.  Most of the time.

More of Mike Stuart's older models.  First a smashing Boeing Peashooter.
