Yes Pete is a good mate of mine. Check out the good looking baldy bloke in the Ford overalls in Brambles recovery film. I first spotted that car a few years ago when pulling out of a building site opposite in a low-loader and took this pic. Recovery day.
The Zlin, unusual aircraft for a model? There used to be a civilian one flying (full size) at RAF Wyton several years ago.
Part of the facination of the hobby is to build models of aircraft that while not exactly unusual are a little different from the run of Spitfires, Mustangs, Chipmunks etc etc. if you can find an unusual paint scheme, then so much the better. My Zlin is based on a machine used in full size aerobatic competition during the 1970s and was sponsored by a Serbian Brewery! The 'real' aeroplane doing its stuff below. Took a slight liberty with the canopy on the model. The MO of this type of aeromodelling is to recreate the performance of the original aircraft in miniature - competitions are run, but I usually just fly for my own pleasure these days.
Continental camping rallies FIM Moto camps, Meritum and Major rallies, Tententreffen near Bruges most years. Very involved with National Police Aid Charity, collecting and sorting donations, loading forty foot shipping containers of aid for deserving countries. Tuesday next we are loading for The Gambia in Colwick then on to Mansfield to top up before shipping, a busy day. Sometimes get time to clean the Trophy but not often.
