Lost my first posting - ![]() 1) Rez Manzoori - best static piston powered ( grumman avenger ) Best static Jet to Steve Kemp ( Airbus Emirates scheme ) Best Piston powered flying model - Rez Manzoori (Avenger) Best Flying Jet - Matt Jones - Vulcan Best overall model of the day - a new trophy kindly sponsored by Alan Hulmes daughter, and named in her fathers honour - Rez Manzoori - Avenger. And a very fine trophy it is too ![]() Well done to all pilots who attended and braved the less than ideal conditions - I think despite the challenges we all enjoyed a good days flying, with several impressive models having their maiden flights too! Noteworthy were the cute little Comet from Matt Jones, Rez's Avenger ( nice touch and go on its maiden flight Phil ![]() Also in dispatches...."Rocket" Ron Cooper's Swallow, Andy Conway's Boulton Paul, John's peanut scale "Flitzer", and Steve Kemps "back from the dead" Cambrian Spitfire. Lots of others too numerous to mention, but thanks to all who attended, and thanks to Phil Cooke for the organizing as usual. Ill try and find a few shots of some of the models mentioned.

![]() 20920 forum posts 304 photos 15 articles | Last video compilation from me for this event is uploading now...the maiden flight of Steve Kemp's Emirates scheme A380 Airbus, flying together with the slightly older but equally lovely Virgin Atlantic version of Rez Manzoori. Both models are the foam "Windrider" versions, originally designed for EDF, but superbly converted by both chaps for PSSA. |

More photos to follow ... as well as the write up on the PSSA site...
A380s duelling on the slope - Airbus would be so proud.
