Went to Weston Park today and met a few old friends ,and made a few new aquaintances .
Very nice to meet you all  
Weather was a bit hit and miss with a couple of light showers, but all in all a great day out  

Enjoy ...

Shane,

Nice piccies

I think I recognise 3 out of the 4 in pic 2, but not sure on the Norfolk chappy, although he's seen the sheep and got his wellies on ready


Mark

Don't know him unfortunatley but the other 3 are from left to right
Ian (Idigbo)  Jez (squarehead) and Alan (AlanC) 

Is the Mustang in the photos above - the WM Large Scale Mustang that Linsair (RCMF User name) Flys?

It looks like it might be.

Cheers for the photos, very nice for those of us not getting there, much apprechiated.

Cheers

Steve

cor  fame at last,      some great flying, superb models,  weather started crap, but soon came around,    Alis cub was simply aw some,   full size glider was amazing,

    Sadly, we had a noteable drama, when a poor guy collapsed, and seemingly died,     don't know many details,  but Rugsleys wife, a nurse, brought him back to life,   air ambulance landed, worked on him, and whisked him, off,      fingers crossed for the poor guy,  don't know who it was,  more details will surface sunday, i dare say,  this all happened after the show had shut,


one more thing,  the bring and buy seemed an IMENSSE success,  the guys where shorthanded, and worked their socks off!!   hundreds of items in there,  worth going for that alone

CU tomorrow night,    remember, YT tent, bring donuts and  MONEY!!! 

A lovely day..seems I missed loads of people but it is the norm at Weston. Here are few more, I have tried to keep them different to Shanes....




Sorry for stopping the prop on this one...the conditions could have been better!

I never spotted you there Chrissy ! I make a point of looking out for people I know as well .

Alan was there also another "moment" as when I was leaving (parked almost next to the swapmeet tent ) people were running around with fire extinguishers as one of the large skip size bins was on fire . probably the result of some prat lobbing a fag end in it !
What you want more do-nuts for ? You had enough in your car to keep the forum going for a week ! 

Nice shots Chrissy 

Didnt hear of anything,  we had a skip fire at the nats, caused by a disposable barby being cobbed in the skip,  might be the same thing?                 as for the donuts, REDSHAW ETUM ;copper;

Hi

Just to let you know the guy was sitting up in bed today thanks to every bodies help.

    Glad to hear that 

A great show according to my son Ciaran who spent the week-end working on the PTA stand. He managed to get just enough time out of the stand to shoot a few images. This one I really like.

Make sure you get some photos of my Black Horse Extra 300S with Nav Lights tomorrow!

What makes you think I was going there again today ? 

hi geew
    i met your son when he was taking that picture he certainly knew his stuff about the Extra, which i must say the flight display was very impressive

Steve sorry matey not mine, i think it was one of the TJD Models guys, not sure, mine flew earlier in the day

Linds

Thanks Linds, I wasnt sure. I have some photos now, but taken with a Panosic Lumix Compact, they are no where near as good as the ones in this thread! Nice for my own scrap albums ( discs).

Ali's large Cub, made the World Models 1/4 scale one look a bit tiny! The WM 1/3 scale I used to think was massive. Too big for me at that size! 1/2 scale Ali's? am I right?

The A10 simply awesome, the Thrust Vectoring - wonderful. All the lovely WW1 machines near the end on Sunday were excellent. Lots more - very good.

Bombing run was loud. I used to fly in one of those regular. Not too different to that one. Lawrence's (RIP) bombs were home made and similar. Very good, my little Freddy's favourite bit!

Excellent show, thanks to everyone taking part that made it great for the public ( including myself as public - we were not trading etc).

Wonderful

Steve

Few from me.

Some more.

Last couple.

The Comp-arf 3D universe Eurosport was the highlight for me, fantastic model and display! i was not sure from where i was sitting if he touched the tail on the floor on one of his displays but when i saw the attached photo it was quite clear! photo is by Steve woods.







 he also got me getting caught out with the Bobcat   Got away with it without a scratch!!

Steve woods took aver 1200 shots . . . got some graet ones of the A10 and the TJD slots, too many for here though . . . .will sort through and post some of the best.

This was my first time at the weston park, and i would like to say what a great show....

Love the fun fighter slot ive never seen such madness..

PAH   madness?  you want to come to the chuck and duck free fright at the nats!!

unless I'm mistaken, the pyro shot above was my veaseyjet Mustang on its first outing!  And to think the team boss accused me of having helium in it and being too cautious! 

Heres a video I took of the thrust vectoring jet...I think it does touch the ground in the hover but it is hard to see


            Regards Rich

         

YouTube - Model Jet thrust vector flight touches ground in hover!

It touched alright, look at the first picture in post 22.

A few more . . . . .

Well,
my first UK model show for lots of years, and my wifes first ever. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend, although it was cold and wet overnight from Friday to Saturday - it made the camping experience more enjoyable  

Took lots of pictures, several shown below - I need to edit most as they are too large.

Met up with Metal Mickey, and he's almost talked us into coming over again for the Hop Farm show, we'll have to see how the finances go  

Almost got a chance to speak to Mr Redshaw as he squeezed past us to exit the show line on Sunday, but I could see he was otherwise busy getting ready to fly.

Hopefully the next time we come over, we'll meet a few more forumites, speshully if I put our picture on here before we come over, And also hope Mr DB of DB sound finds something better/more to say than the cost of Alis "turn the key to switch on" models  


Tuesday update - now managed to edit some pics - so reloading









Happy Landings

Bill
