May 2025 BBQ and Chris Foss models fly-in

The May club meeting was the first this year in the Summer Saturday BBQ format. It came with bright sunny weather, if a little breezy, and had a good turnout. The flight line was predominately celebrating  Chris Foss models, but a number of other types brought variety to the day. The BBQ was a very welcome break. It was efficiently staffed by Tom, Mark, Geoff and Julia who produced a large number of tasty burgers and sausages in quick time. Photos by Izzy Brown and David King.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clive Upperton flew a nice session with his ARTF Wot 4-E Mk 2, including this touch and go, enjoyed by the spectators.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Wot 4’s of Ollie and Paul were in action and a “Wot Trainer” was available to try.

     

 

 

 

 

 

Once John Ivory had landed his plane, he and Colin Lucas discussed Wot 4 flying techniques with Paul Shrubb and Colin followed up with some one-to-one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lancaster of John Ivory made a nice display, particularly appropriate in the week before the VE Day celebrations.
