In Scale Gliding, Chris Williams returns to White Sheet Down for another scale event before handing over to Frank Skilbeck for his report from the Sherlowe and Milson aerotow meetings.

Next, we say a hearty ‘welcome back’ to Danny Fenton as he resumes his Make It Scale column by picking up on the final covering of his DB Auster project.

Over next to Alex Whittaker, to wrap things up in Weekenders; this time he looks at a range of 3D items made by other modellers but manages to talk his way out of adding a 3D printer to his shed tools. Let’s see how long he can hold out!
