Went down to Mandeville on sunday to the flyin. Didn't take many photos, but it was a good day out. We the Southland chapter of the SAA have a meeting there and a chance to have a look at John Baynes new F1 rocket. Never got to see it fly as the starter gave up and an attempt to swing it did no good sadly.
Won't say to much about it as our own DH90 is test flying it and he might do a story on it in the future.
This Austrailian Lightwing Gr582 is owned by Malcom Swanson at Winton, but has real history as it was flown direct from Mallacoola, Austrailia to Haast on 2/12/1999 by Ben Buckley, setting a record for the first 2 stroke to do so, he was either mad or had big knackers!
Some of the line up.
A wee Auster for baz.
Great detail in these models
