Something quite different

A man-carrying, full-size, Ornithopter. More info, photos and video clips here.

Ken's DH Beaver had its first flight today. It is powered by a 40cc petrol engine that sounds very good in the air -- even after the silencer fell off.
Note that it's officially Summer, Charlie is wearing his Shorts.

Roger Lambson and his son. Some members of the gliding fraternity in the background.

Not a good day to fly.

Overcast cold and windy.

There were some optimists there -- Charlie, Colin and Alex.

Howard even took-off into the murk.
