Chris & I get togeather.....

...regularly to fly our radio control aircraft. "They are not toys" he exclaims, tongue in cheek. Yesterday, Sunday was a perfect flying day & so it was with a certain amount of anticipation I loaded planes from the hanger into my car & set off for Cambridge for a days flying.

Great day for a fly & good company too.

Thanks again Chris.

Chris preps for another sortie

Cambridge is a beautiful place especially in the autumn. With this in mind I set off (after flying of course) to look for a pic.
A little early but you can see the beginnings of the seasons blush colouring the foliage of one or two trees in this panorama.

Te Koutu Lake reserve, Camdrige.

I've driven past this old farm building so many times on the foothills of the Kaimai ranges traveling to fly with Chris & so many other occassions.
This was the first time I've stopped. Usually there is a schedule to maintain & stopping here, in the middle of nowhere is just not going to fit in.
Everything worked out just right this time including the weather.
