Hope you have all had a very enjoyable days racing today, i look forward to reading how it all went, anyone have a few pics to share please ?

I was hoping to come along for a couple of hrs to catch up with many of my flying friends who I havent seen for so long, sadly I wasnt well enough for the trip.

Sorry to here you are still struggling Stu. Hopefully you will be well enough soon.

Whitesheet was crossed and variable. But it came good for me late on with a 39.02 on and my first sub 40 second F3f run.

[Graeme_M]

That was one of the best days racing i can remember at Whitesheet!! 13 pilots ready to do battle and wall to wall sunshine. 13 round flown in what i thought to be reasonably consistant conditions for Whitesheet, however times varied from 75:53 (Sorry Phil) to 36:66 well done Mike! Mark Redsell showed us how it should be done with some very accurate flying followed closely by Mike Shellim and John Philips.

Congrats to Mark, Mike & John - very well flown in crossed & variable conditions

Excellent comp, thank you Graeme. Very well done to Mark, Mike and JP - some quality flying on display there, and congratulations to Graham for getting a PB and going sub-40 (at Whitesheet!!!!).

Just echoing the comments above - good day out, no drama, everything set and ready to go early on and then good weather as well! Still pretty challenging at times but a good number of rounds to sort things out. Thanks to the whitesheet team and everyone else for a really good, slick and relaxed day out.

(Will - I might have some spare ballast if you need it )

Well I thought it was a great day's flying, despite the crossed conditions! Well done to Mark, also to Graham for his first sub-40 - the first of many I'm sure.

Many thanks to Graeme and crew for a good call re slope, and a slickly run comp. Pics to follow soon.

Sorry to have missed out. Got to the hill only to discover that I had left my rucksack at home - no TX, no ballast, no lunch.  Bugger.

Can’t fly without lunch!!!

Well done chaps, glad you had a good comp.  Sorry I couldn't be there to assist and fly, but expect to be fully on board for the English Open (watch this space later this month.........). 

Graham, good effort with your great sub-40 PB, let me have the details and it can go on the list!!  I recall not long ago you were bemoaning the fact that you could never reach the 45s threshold for getting onto the list, and now sub-40 at White Sheet!
