Ah, 🎵"Sumer is icumen in..." British summertime, eh? 'Flaming June', and all that (ho ho🤭). Such a pity that the weather usually manages to spoil things if you hold events at a civilised time of day. The RC boys can usually cope, but free-flight is no fun. It's either chucking it down with rain or blowing a gale, and far too many planes will be caught and flipped and smashed to bits. Delaying things until the evening means the wind will have dropped, but then you have to rush to get a flight in before it's too dark to see. I'd have been tempted to keep my planes tucked safely away and concentrated on the ol' deck-chair, flask of tea, bag of crisps and egg sandwich side of aeromodelling... 😁
A lot of work done on those rubber powered craft. Not sure I'd be brave enough to let one go after all that love and attention to detail, but I guess that's the name of the game. If you let it go and it comes back, it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was. lol. I suppose that's why I noticed so many back up aircraft. Nice to see something of your humble roots if you don't mind me saying. Love older clips. They remind us from whence we came and how far we have come. Thank you so much for sharing and God Bless, Paul from Florida.
Noticed many launches were pitched up too much and pushed off hard - well above flying speed this puts model put into unstable attitude from which chance of recovery is poor

Those were the days eh? We had a few good days this summer, but it was windy at Old Warden if I remember correctly!!
