The Midlands Large Model Flying Group

24

Catton Park LMA Show 21-22 August 04
Produced and Directed by TMLMFG.

The Catton WW1 team line up for a photo and one minutes silence in remembrance to Alan Brown
one of the team members who passed away on the 14th July this year. His son is going to fly his model in the team.
The last flight on Sunday was mayhem, a strong cross wing sprang up causing problems, then there were mid air collisions, non starters, engine cuts in flight, plus a fly away with a Pup in the strong turbulence, this one put down to servo failure on port ailerons.     

Steve Copson & partner taking  his ½ scale cub out for the next flight.

Spitfire Hurricane and Tri motor
In start up box. Two Jets in background.

Two DR1 Triplanes getting ready for the next sortie.

Another good year with the weather, on the flying days at least, the early forecasts were bad especially for Sunday, the worst was the strong wind for the last WW1 flight Sunday, see write up at the bottom of page.
Thanks go to all our members and others from outside the group plus our Ladies who helped on build up break down and during the show and also to the Ladies that were running the hospitality tent, keeping us refreshed all day.
Lastly thanks go to the Pilots who turned up and flew, without them there would be no show.
