Thanks for that John--looks good--we also have over 70 aircraft booked in ,including the spectacular GB team and selection of Dawn Patrol team--plus all the big models and jets that Rufforth attracts because of the runway facilities.There is a free bring/buy area for anyone wanting to bring along those unwanted items--just normal gate [prices which have been held again at £7 adults and £6 concessions---DAVE

So Who's going then ,I will be there with my Airbus and Victor ,I'm praying for good weather as it's about time we had some good weather for a change.

I hope you get good weather Andy -



I still think thats one impressive model. I'd love to see it again - it's so realistic, but I can't make it to that show. How far is the drive to this show? From the NW? Cos maybe next year? Who knows?

So the visitors to the show  have this too look forward too -



I think it stole the show at Woodvale  

Looks like it's going to be a good show.

Below is the updated list of traders for Rufforth.
The weather forecast is good for the weekend and with winds up and down the main runway.

I`ll be there on Friday will be bring some things for the bring & buy

Any reports as to the event (dried up ok?)was lashing down hereall day  friday thinking of popping down tommorow all being well and its not to soft underfoot ( just had a knee revision 4 weeks ago)
so still not walking to well but if its sound enough I will go.

cheers KW

The weather was dry yesterday but the cross winds stopped flying for a little bit, still really enjoyed the afternoon out, highlights for me (and I was only there for a few hours) was the 1/2 scale decathlon, engine cut so he pulled a loop ! (it was auto start though) and there was a young pilot 'Connor' who put on a flawless display with an electric Giles

Well,  just about to load up with Tat for the bring and buy bit,     looking forward to it,

went today great weather dry underfoot like a different month never mind week! heart stopping moment with the big hind thought that was in!! and the comet (first time I have seen it) was superb

KW

brought tat home,  no buyers      BUT!   a great day,   could have done with a few more models,     but how could you not enjoy what was there,    nice, laid back atmosphere, enough trade,   struggled getting past 2 things,  the ice cream van, and the bar      commentary was varied,  very acceptable,  dont know what yesterday was like,  but today was BRILL   MODELS FOR ME/   The comet is easily the finest model ever to fly for the LMA,   closely followed by the vulc, and vic demo,          now a funny thing,  i have been looking for a silencer for an old HP 61 for ages,    bought a box of tata,  and in there wasTHREE of them!!    that alone made the very short trip well worthwhile

Hi All,

Pictures requested by bobt - Team Gee Bee racers.







And I supposed I'd better add a picture of the scabby old Victor



TTFN,
Neil

Neilly,  you made a comment in the fighter a aces thread, that no-one like your photos?     just how could they not do?  these are STUNNING

really like the pic of the victor
stunning 

Cheers Neilly- I couldnt make Rufforth, you have made my day! Nice to see they are still idiots without me... Cracking pics, even of that crappy Victor!

Hi Guys,

Bob - Yep, Team Gee Bee are all still certifiable! Great fun for the rest of us that's f'sure.

Alan, it's like I said - very few comments so I don't bother. I have posted show pictures in the past and not had a single comment

TTFN,
Neil

WELL,  I FOR ONE AM GREATFULL

  Neily!! Terrific pic`s mate,keep it going fella. Ray Peters.

Neilly,  you made a comment in the fighter a aces thread, that no-one like your photos?     just how could they not do?  these are STUNNING

Totally agree!
I always look at your piccies, but to be honest its a bit superfluous to keep posting that they are absolutely fantastic
Please keep posting!

Neil, excellent photographs as ever   As others have said, your photographs are very well appreciated even if they haven't been commented on. 

For the events that I've attended and you've posted photographs of, they have always been an excellent reminder of some great days.   For those featuring  events that I didn't attend, they show what I've missed and a reminder to me to get out more next year!     

Please keep posting on RCMF

Alan

Hi Guys,

here's some to be going on with.............








TTFN,
Neil

Well, what can I say? Bloody stunning, thats what. Is that Dereks Heston Phoenix? Unusual pose for that one!

I took my camera to rufforth but by heck they are nowt like yours, fantastic photo's nice to see

KW

Looks like the Chippy should have been fitted with floats!

That Heston looks great, a very attractive and unusual aeroplane - not seen a model of it before.    (The Heston Racer is quite tasty too - anyone built a model?)

Alan

Geoff Graves was flying Derek's Heston - he'd just done a stall turn, that's how I got that angle - looks different.

The Chipmunk belongs to Tony Woodhouse - shows how wet the runway was at start of play, Saturday.

TTFN,
Neil

Hi All,

Finally scrapping the bottom of the barrel with this one



TTFN,
Neil

Surely Photoshoppery

Hi Ian,

Yep, my first attempt - bit crude, but I'll improve - I hope. I went a bit OTT on the cloud formation. Still not to bad for a beginner

please tell me you have a "crude effort" of the comet

Hi Keith,

I don't need a crude effort with the Comet - I'm a de Havilland man through & through - I have loads of good Comet pics

Hi Neil, I’m still on hol until tomorrow,  will get that Cosford page sorted when I get home,fantastic pic's as always, you know you have my support the LMA website would be dull without your input can’t thank you enough, just keep them coming.

Hi Dave,

Thanks, mate.

Been playing with pictures of the Gaffers Vulcan . And also Master Swarbrick's Panthers, too. Gonna send Harold a bloody big bill if he doesn't get a better bloomin' magnet on that hatch to keep it shut If you want the updated picture of the that's on the picture of the month that's no problem. I also have the next picture in the set done, too. I don't know why I didn't put it in with the rest

I'll have the Rufforth stuff for you by the end of the week - hopefully
