BMFA British National Model Flying Championships 2017 R/C Scale Event

Back from the Best Nationals Held at RAF Barkstone  heath   that  I  have  Ever    had   even though I   did   not   win   my class, Fantastic   weather  😃   ( Sun Burnt too )..   Great social evenings   with   CD   Chris Allen   Top chef & mine host, And mornings too   sharing my camping stove   With Alex Kennedy   & David Charles,  plenty of Banter & mirth to be had ...   I entered Flying only class this year with My Westland Wyvern that is modified from the artf   50cc   Black horse model, this one   is powered by a Laser 300V.   As my F4c Hawker Hurricane has not   yet been re maidened after it's rebuild following a landing accident .. Flying   wise   from my club I placed   3rd in the flying only class   with the Wyvern, My best mate Dave Knott entered F4c class  I was his flight option caller,  In a hard fought  contest that could have seen Dave Toyer, Mick Reeves, Dave  Womersley  Or John Carpenter  had his Static score been more realistic take the honours Dav
