This is our local hill, one of my favourite places on the planet. You can see our cars parked at the bottom. I used to run up here with a model under each arm - couldn't do it now.



Here's a much younger Hagar with one of my favourite gliders, the Graupner Cirrus. I still have it but not flown it for years.

One of my friends with his Selestra. This was built from a plan purchased from one of the modelling magazines. A tad old-fashioned but an excellent design. I had one like it & won several thermal soaring comps with it. Still have the model now. The chap in the yellow jacket is one of the younger contingent, an excellent flier & designer of a complete range of R/C models.

A typical sight on our hill every Sunday morning.

This is what they're probably looking at. The Beau Trainer aerobatic sloper. One of our young friend's designs. We all had at least one.

Here's a bunch of us idiots on a different hill. I'm in there somewhere. Wonderful memories & great fun. Sadly I lost touch with most of them long ago.

More to follow.
