Cornwall - The Show

The two day event at North Cliffs near Camborne was a total success all round. We ('erin doors and I) trundled our way down the A30 to Camborne and arrived on site at around 09:00hrs on the Friday. First things first, set up the caravan and put up the awning. Geoff and Mary arrived shortly afterwards and did likewise, only theirs is a motor home, and then Terry arrived and erected his tents. Yes plural, the other one is his dunny. I won't go into details. After a spot of lunch we chilled in the afternoon and enjoyed a couple of flights with the Pico-Jet and Geoff flew his very pretty looking Bae Hawk. Evening, and we went into Portreath and paid a visit to the Bassett Arms for a jar of Cornish Knocker and a bite to eat. After a stroll down to the sea front to watch the Sun set we made our way back to the site and crashed 'till morning.

Saturday, and up with the (bleary eyed) lark, took all the models and equipment down to the flight line and made ready for the days' flying.

Apparently they're called Truck Nuts

Sunday wasn't quite as good as Saturday weatherwise, although it didn't rain it was cloudy all day. In fact it rained most of the day on the South Coast, so prospective spectators were probably put off attending and as a result there were fewer spectators on Sunday. But it was still a great day.
