Report and photos from Richard Granger

Another jolly Hangar Rat comp. With, of course, all the usual miscreants !
Using last year's formula ( three best flights out of ten, totalled up in seconds ) the results were.....

1 Dave Fisher 383 seconds ( he got the furry rat )
2 Your Chairman (!) 356 seconds
3 Peter Arkley 304 seconds
4 Paul Briggs 295 seconds
5 John Churchill 290 seconds
6 Barrie Purseglove 259 seconds
7 Bill Draper 240 seconds
 

The scores were much higher than last year, so we must be improving !

Paul Briggs

 Dave Fisher and  John Churchill.
