Some planes may have changed hands, or no longer be around...Bob
Ian Fulcher flying a recently acquired Twinjet, powered by two Permax 400 motors
Martin's Ripmax Phantom
This model originally belonged to former club member Stephen "Taffy" Prynne. Martin Mortimer bought it from him ready to fly. It is a Ripmax ARTF kit with a glassfibre fuselage. Powered by a .91 two stroke engine it flies very scale like
This shot shows Martin (carrying the model) and brother Ian about to test fly it.

This model is a Cessna Skymaster by Chas Sugg, he says he's had the model for some time and has brought it out to give it an airing again. Powered by OS 25 and OS 20 two strokes it flies with a fair turn of speed and although it will fly on one engine it has to be nursed as it will stall easily
This is another of Chas's models, a Sopwith Dove, which was a civilian version of the Sopwith Pup World War One fighter which had it's wings swept to aid stability. The model was built by Chas from a David Boddington plan scaled up to 53 inch span and is powered by an SC70 four stroke, it flies great
This semi-scale rendition of a Messerschmitt ME109 has been built by Chas using a spare Acro Wot wing that was laying around, he calls it a Messy Wot
Another nice model, this one by Tom Cole, a beautifully finished Ryan STA. This model first appeared at the Henham Wings and Wheels Show in the static display and has flown well on numerous occasions. Built from a Sig kit this 72inch span beauty is powered by a Laser 75 engine
Roy Shelley's Hawker Hurricane
This model is built from an 80in span Mick Reeves kit, powered by an SC108 two stroke motor and sporting retracting undercarriage. This shot was taken before final finishing
This shot shows Roy with the help of Les Everett about to give the Hurri a test flight
The Hurri takes to the air on its' maiden flight
