“I really enjoyed the Wayway flying last weekend. The weather was great. Everything was spectacularly organized – and the hotdogs were a special treat. Here is a selection of photos I took. I took more shots but how many photos of a plane circling are needed. I didn’t capture many of the events and there were many great airplanes to be seen that I missed photographing. I particularly enjoyed the unique underhand launch of Bruce Foster in WW-II, and Wally’s in-contest experiments with a one-bladed prop. If we need to identify the people/planes in the photos we can do that. Having Dave from Easybuilt there was great. He was an ambassador for FAC to a steady stream of newcomers throughout the two days. As I walked by he was frequently patiently explaining how the models were built and what someone would need to join in the fun. The only thing he was missing was a building board – as some of his visitors could have built a model in the time they took to discuss them.” Glenn Simpers
