British Nationals....

Last weekend was spent at RAF Barkston Heath at the BMFA Power Nationals.  The weather though dry, was very blustery, conditions which proved challenging to everyone.

On Saturday two Flyin' Fish customers competed in the Sportsmans competition.  James Green, flying in only his 3rd ever competition, won the Sportsmans 'A' schedule using his smart Blitz Avro.  Congratulations James. 

Jon Kemp came second in the Sportsmans 'B' schedule.  The photo shows him being presented with his trophy by Cliff Hiatt, the 1995 World F3C Champion.  Cliff was a surprise though very welcome visitor to the heli flightline on Saturday.

Sunday saw Dave once again do battle with his fellow team mates.  All three (Steve Roberts, Mark Christy & Dave) retained their team places for the 2010 European F3C Championships which will take place in Romania.  Matthew Reuben will be team reserve for 2010.  The Nationals F3C trophy has bounced back & forth between Dave & Steve for the last five years & this year Steve regained the title once again.  Dave finished in third place close behind Mark Christy.

Dave is now spending his spare time preparing for the 3D UK Championships in Tewkesbury in 3 weeks time.  On the 19th / 20th September we'll be helping to man the AHA stand at the Southern Model Air Show, at the Hop Farm, Kent.  If you plan on attending this fantastic event, do come & say hello & perhaps even buy a raffle ticket or two!!
