March Fly In. 8th March 2009

A small hardy bunch turned out for the March meeting despite a very strong cold wind. the first couple of hours were beautiful before the squally showers set in.

Terry was flying his anniversary kites, which were a bit overpowered, but looked great.

I was testing out a new camera for KAP and manged to get a couple of poor shots of Terry's kites from the air:

Are we still here?

Due to family matters, I haven't been able to make many events this winter. I hope others have been able to fly. I look forward to seeing everyone soon.

I have managed to do quick bit of KAP in the snow though
