The cross wind from the South made flying a little difficult and with the speed at around 12mph it was really beyond the limit for me, but I did manage to fly the Pico-Jet and both trainers, but I left the Yak on the ground.
Jack and Josie B from Gent in Belgium were here this weekend on a visit. They used to come to the Top Gun events which the Sedgemoor Club hosted many years ago. Its great to see them again. Jack flew a large scale Extra 300 with a 3W engine running on Avgas (used in full size aircraft) which gave a remarkably slow and smooth tick-over and good top end power. Its also equiped with a smoke system using lamp oil (not much smell). It produces an excellent smoke trail even in todays windy conditions.

Another unexpected visitor to the airfield was this beautiful owl brought here today by Paul and his wife.
The eyes are amazingly clear as crystal
And of course there's always a poser
