Malcolm Stiles sent me these photos of my Junior 60.

Thanks Malcolm, let's have more.

He also took this photo of an Sbach 342, and the one below of Alex.

Alex' electric Sandown. Originally a free flight  PAAload design.

Here's some full size vintage flying...

News of Colin's back operation -- Schalk Rabe

We saw Colin over the weekend and are happy to report that he is progressing well. The medical staff get him out of bed for a short and assisted walk each day and although unsteady, he manages.


He is now able to receive visitors more freely and would love to see you.


As a reminder - he is in Section 8 on the first floor of Garden City Clinic and as he in a private room visiting times are fairly flexible, other than at mealtimes and when he is receiving medical attention.


Regards,


Schalk, Jolene and Stan

...but no sign of the Red Baron.

I built a Tomboy with a fifty year old Mills 0.75 diesel engine. It still runs well but the contra piston is a little loose so that the compression setting backs-off when it runs.
Denis suggested fitting a short length of fuel tube to give more friction, and Steve thought that plumber's tape around the compression screw would fix it.
I've used both these ideas to good effect. Thanks.

Vintage aircraft meeting number 236

Here are some of the Old Timers.

Colin taking it easy. Basil's caption for this photo is " A Picture of Innocence".

Ted.

A serious matter.

Mark's Buzzard Bombshell. In my view one of the best looking vintage aircraft.

If you look carefully, in the background you can see Charlie wearing Long Trousers. A sure sign that Winter is upon us.

Perfect weather and a good turn-out of Old Timers, (not to mention Vintage Aircraft).

They don't make 'em like this anymore. Mark's twenty year old OS 60 four stroke.
