Henham 2012

Henham Steam Rally, 15th and 16th September, 2012, at Henham Park, near Southwold, Suffolk 


Each year, WMFC has a flying display, and also a static display in a nearby marquee 


A grand day, Saturday, fine, sunny and warm.. plenty of good company and good cheer..
Strip in excellent condition, thanks to our ground crew..Bit of a crosswind to keep our Pilots on their toes..

Another great static display..






Plus those in the marquee, which I forgot to photograph.. :oops: :oops:


This 40% Super Decathlon was purchased by Dick Hales recently.
Seen here with Linda and Mike..





And this is Dick's Douglas 0-46 Army Observer plane, scratch built.
Neither this one or the Decathlon flew, due to insurance reasons





It pays to have a big lorry if you have lots of large models.. :o :o





Here is Dick's Morane-Saulnier WW1 fighter, being started by Terry





And we're orf.. Seemed a bit of a handfull.. flew veeeery slowly..







3 of our brave pilots.. Martin, Chas and Ian..





Ryan takes Graham M leccy Pitts special up.. They use a buddy system, because Graham is Mode 1 and Ryan mode 2



 







Some great flying of the P-47 Thunderbolt by Grumm





Grumm released the bombs 1 nano-second after I took this photo :roll: :roll:





Chas's ME109 is scrambled..





A dogfight starts..





Oh! No!.. Has Grumm been shot down???? :shock: :shock:
No, just a deadstick caused by a broken muffler extension.. :cry: :cry:




Team Catling ready the Cessna twin..




Watch out for the heli, Martin.. :o :o
