Wor'Keith Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Saturday (yesterday) . . Collywell bay. 10 - 11 mph wind N/NE, high tide . . Mediocre . . Lift, just enough to fly some of the lighter models. I arrived latish . . 3.45-4-00 pm, other members of the team were just arriving. 5 in total, not enough lift really. . to do my WEASEL justice, but able to ’twiddle the sticks’ for about an hour. Other members with . .’mouldies’ . . were able to excel. Forecast about the same, for Sunday / Monday . . . . An enjoyable afternoon ! Eric & Kenny . . . Conspicuous . . By there absence. . . . . . Wor’ Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Keith, that sounds like the sort of winds I want for the next bank hol w/end. So if you can just organise that....OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken anderson. Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 well as one of the posse member's-i was in fact at the said sluice on saturday at aprox 12.30ish...the wind speed was 10mph-but not in the right direction-attempted to defy gravity with the 'guppy'...and nearly ended up among the seaweed and crab's etc...so went to club site and had a couple of hour's there with cc carr.....nxt bank hol john is longhorsley LMA......worth a visit...only if weather is good...as the site is 600ft above sea level i was told....finger's crossed...... ken anderson ne 1..... ps...head cowboy enrico is at the caravan site....Edited By ken anderson. on 02/05/2010 18:47:20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Ken - yep, I sneaked out for a couple of hours at Longhorsley last year when I was up at the end of May. It was quite breezy, just as it had been a couple of weeks previously at the Blackbushe show. A few of the models I'd hoped to see flying didn't fly on the Sunday (day I as there) though I think they may have done on the Saturday. Do I remember rightly that only 2 of the 3 days are "public" days, and the third is LMA members only? And if so, which are the two days? And what is enrico doing at the caravan site? I assume you mean the one I still think of as "Feathers" though I guess it's not been called that for a decade or three... Or do you mean the one on the clifftop just round from Collywell Bay?

John Privett Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hmm, so the LMA site says Sat&Sun are the Longhorsley public days. And Ken says Sun&Mon. I guess one of them's got to be wrong... If I do get over there it's most likely to be on the Sunday again - and that's the day you both agree on! [Edit] Just seen your update, Ken!

John Privett Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'll just sit back and observe you two exchanging slanderous remarks... But in the meantime, is there a posse member that I have not previously identified? Who is this Capt/oldee McTurk? And I never did find the beer caboose at Longhorsley last year - not that I had time for the imbibing of alcoholic beverages during my "flying visit"...

Craig Carr Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hi John, No formal beer tent other than the back of one of the "stage coaches" Captain Mcturk isnt on the forum but is a good pal of Ken and myself and all 3 of us were "the Committee" of the hallowed turf at Blyth Model Club last year. If we meet will introduce you.... Hes sort of like Uncle Jessie of the Dukes of Hazzard Edited By Craig Carr on 02/05/2010 20:01:56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wor'Keith Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Sunday (yesterday). I managed to get down to the bay 3.30ish, (Night shift) on entering Collywell bay road, a large scale Lancaster, was patrolling the cliffs. The local coastguard 4 X 4 was parked by the inner fence on the grass, I immediately assumed that . . 'Seaweed Kenny’ . . was in difficulties again !! Fortunately for all they were only on a training exercise. There had been a good turnout on the day, with visiting WW2 scale fliers and friends, enjoying a 17mph N wind, producing medium to good lift. Ideal conditions for the little ‘WEASEL EVO‘. Spent a good couple of hours cruising around the bay with some well needed landing practise. (in my case ’ARRIVING’ practise). More or less the same conditions expected for today! Andy. . . John. Will see what we can do for the next long weekend. But as the . . ’Lad’s’ . . say the LMS, that weekend will be the main event. . . . . Wor’Keith.

ken anderson. Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 monday(black)-17mph wind ideal for the s/sluice cliff's.....when i arrived there were a fair few horses tied up and pose members fighting for a bit of sky......as usual enrico was in the middle of it all......as the afternoon progressed there was more broken model's lying around than there was in the sky...names will be withheld to save the blushes...watch this post for some photo's...a grand day was had.............. ken anderson.....friend of wrecker's enrico/andy/roger/keith/andy...etc.....oop's..

Craig Carr Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 The Hilltop Posse having a great day at Seaton Sluice 3rd May 2010. The Hilltop Posse Gang - some noticeable by absence (namely Wor Keith "the night shift" and Ken "seaweed" Anderson). Kenny (arrives late after completeing domestic duties) Enrico Gibson launching his Guppy Chris Collis's excellent Lancaster... Superb Ken with the Lancaster New Flyer Frankie, only been learning a few months and coming on a treat !! Ken launches the Lancaster...... and finally some models in the air.... hoped for more flying shots but the camera batteries went duff - Perhaps Wor Keith got some good flying shots??
