Another great day, light NW breeze meant it was a day for electric assistance, but later the conditions were better for true sloping, John paid us two visits first was a flypast in his microlight then half an hour later he was up with his slope glider. Dave was out with a refurbished model he got from Ken Jones and it flew very well. (Pictured big).

A good turn out as well, here are some further pics from the day.

Well I managed to have a New Years Day fly but was very cold!! - It was flyable from the Sabden side, went up with my trusty Littlestar as the light winds needed the help of the electric motor now and again.

And no I didnt go up in my Tank!, thats my aerial!

Superb day on Sunday 30th November,

Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September 2008

This year's Southport Air Show coincides with the 90th anniversary of the RAF, and to celebrate there will be increased flying activity to include the RAF Role Demonstrations by top military aircraft, Tornado GR4, Tornado F3, Sentry aircraft and a Chinook which will lead into a simulated fire power demonstration on the beach.

Southport Air Show is recognised as the largest aviation show in the North West. This fantastic family event attracts up to 150,000 spectators over two days. The comprehensive flying programme includes the spectacular Red Arrows, military and civilian aircraft, Jets, helicopters, aerobatics and parachute displays.

This is a great day out for the family and an experience not to be missed!

Well the summer night flying on Towneley during Wednesday eveings are now no more (last flight was the 6th August-see below) with the start of the building for the new super school. Cant think exactly how long we have been flying there but I think its over 10 years if not longer.

So we need to find a new site for next Summer.
