 | Yay! A 1948 Cessna 140. Interestingly enough, it had stop-drilled cracks in the rudder in *exactly* the same place as we had stop-drilled cracks in ours...must be a common problem. This one has ragwings. |
 | Another view of the C140. |
 | The German version of the Glasair, the one that's stuck in the legal battle (this one isn't a kitbuilt - this particular plane is certified and built in a factory, by a company called OMF, IIRC). |
 | Head-on view. |
 | Jabiru microlight. Has a small geared 6-cylinder engine. Inexpensive to fly. |
 | Acro Nipper. Looks a bit like one of those cartoon sparrows when it's in the air. It looks a bit ungainly, but I wouldn't turn one down :-) |
 | Front view of the Nipper. |
 | Says Super 2 on the side, but I don't know what it actually is and the pilot wasn't there to ask... |
 | Evans EP-1 - single seat, low wing, external struts. Powered by a Volkswagen engine and *extremely* inexpensive to fly - low fuel burn, and a PFA-type so you can do your own maintenance. |
 | Another view of the Evans. |
 | Plastic plane being marshalled to a parking spot, skillfully avoiding the cow-turds. |
 | Zlin going for an aerobatic flight with a victim^W erm, passenger. |
 | Don't know what this is, other than a boxy taildragger! |
 | The Zlin hurtles by just after lifting off the runway. |
 | Jodel waiting for fuel. |
 | A microlight with a very odd engine attachment. The engine wobbled worryingly at taxi speeds. |
 | Kitfox taxies in. |
 | Departing Crossland Moor in the Cheetah. That's Huddersfield below. |
 | Not a great photograph, but it's looking out over the Irish Sea on the way home. The Cheetah feels very very small and the Irish Sea looks very very big... |
 | On the west apron at Ronaldsway, fuelling up after the trip. (The west apron is where the airlines load/unload and the fuel truck just happened to be there). |
