Great day at Sherlowe yesterday, super weather and great company yet again.

A big thank you to John for organising and the tuggies for all their hard work.

A few pics from the day:

Thanks to all who attended to make it a great days flying and especially the hard working tug pilots Ray, Phil, Elliot.

Superb weather on Saturday, sun and light breeze for the 26 glider pilots. 

Drizzle and proper rain on Sunday morning, but then a superb sunny dry and 5mph afternoon after most had packed up and gone home. 

Phil Huddleston staying up for his usual 1hour+ flights!

 

We raised £340 (which Bob and Gill double up) for the local children's hospice and the air ambulance charities.

 

Looking forward to Milson in 3 weeks and the next Sherlowe on August 13th & 14th.

 

Cheers John M

 

Hi, just editing a YouTube video of this aerotow meeting, and trying to get hold of Chris (with his 10.7m Ash35 with pop up motor) to get a copy of his gopro footage from this meeting. Does anyone know which username he is on here ? If anyone else has any footage you are happy for us to include, please get in touch

Matt & Gwen

I will try and put him in touch with you.

Matt,
I just rejoined Dropbox and am uploading 24Gb of 4K video... Will send it to you this evening.
Chris 'Bendywings'. (True for the ASH25 and also because I flew the 707 which was a very flexible aircraft, to which Boeing said 'What bends doesn't snap'...!)

Put a video of my Gheppio on a tow on youtube from last Saturday.

Video from last Saturday- enjoy! Thanks to all who contributed sections of film, Matthew and Gwen

Would like to come along on the 13th/14th August with a tug if you need another tug pilot. Got a DLE111 powered SDD Greenley so capable of towing pretty much anything
