Tommy Patton Park, Belfast – 18TH June.

For once the weather forecast was good for our competition, with generally favourable flying conditions to last most of the day.

With six entered in F2B this was the same as last year, Kevin Barry travelling from Cork with Chris Gilbert and Stu Holland coming from Dublin.

Mitchell Shaw was our judge in both F2B and Classic.

With the weather being so favourable F2B got started as soon as everyone had their practise flight.

The competition was very close after the first round, with John and Maurice posting scores within two points of each other. The fight for third was equally close with Kevin, Stu and Peter all within nine and half points of each other.

Unfortunately Chris’s model came to grief when it hit a large bush just outside the flying circle, this finished his involvement in the competition.

The second round started with John posting the highest score of the day , clinching first place in the competition, with Maurice consolidating second place.

Kevin improved his score to take third with Stu in fourth and Peter fifth.

Classic was a single round competition, again flown in good conditions.

Maurice taking the honours, with Kevin in second place and Stu third.

Our thanks for all coming along, especially those who travelled so far to make the day worthwhile, and the judge for his essential contribution.
