Kirkbride Open Day and Fly-In 22.7.07

["YellowBelly"]

Just a few pictures from Kirkbride, nothing flying from me I have left that to the pro,s that where there.
The day got out rather hot and there was plenty to see, a good day I enjoyed it.














Any one know who these shifty looking guys are ?....

[Chris Gurney]

Some interesting shots there Mike, glad you enjoyed it. As for looking shifty, i blame the guy on the right.

Hey! I resemble that remark! ;D

Some quick and dirty pictures straight out of the camera whilst waiting for dinner to cook.... the first one being entitled "Happy Days at Kirkbride" (thanks to Chris for that particular line!)....



















Had a wonderful day, pleased you both enjoyed it too. Wasn't too sure before lunch since the weather was doing its best to flood the place....

Great pics there guys!
So Who is who on that pic taken on the old tower?
Were any of you monitoring 124.4 then?
My Godfather will have probably be knocking about in G-SIMY.

P.S Today at Carlisle we got a few of the Kirkbride stuff in for fuel.

I love the pictures of the Yak Graeme, and well done in finding a good vantage point to shoot your pics.
Also good to meet you...

[cherskiy]

Thanks, Mike - pleased you liked them. Good to meet you as well - I'm slowly getting to meet everyone on this forum....

I'll post some of the cleaned-up ones once I get a chance to work on them. As I was telling Chris today, I've been using that particular spot on top of the old tower for years - but it's the first time I have been up there since it was re-vamped.

Steven - yours truly is on the right, there's some damned southerner getting in on the act on the left.... ;D
