GBRCAA were there en mass and flying all day.

GBRCAA continued until the very last minute (and beyond!) - a great day.

The remains of a failed conrod, note the split straight down the middle, 32,000 rpm pylon racing isn't kind on weakness.

Control line pit stop in progress.

12 Year old Matt Dorgan flew in IMAC

Where do you start on a paintjob like this? all sprayed on.

A huge thank you to Eric Clark for these photographs.
