Clint - 'Star Of The Day'

Here is the star of the day 'Old steely balls' himself - Clint with his new purchase, his Luna 2.
This bloke has got nerves of steel and an attitude to life that is so refreshing. Sorry Clint, I don't mean to embarrass you. A few weeks back Clint was flying an old Wildthing and today was fully in control (well nearly) of his newly purchased and newly repaired Luna 2 glider. After some tweeking and changes to throws etc Jack and I both flew the Lunar and it was a sweet ship to fly. Then Clint got his hands on her and calmly and skilfully took control and showed us what he could do. After a few practice circuits and a bit of prompting he got her down only to get an impromptu cartwheel at the last second. Well done Clint. Jack & I where very Impressed. Here is Jack taking off....

Here is Jack Landing...
Here are a few pictures taken from up at the South bowl of Itford Hill. What a smashing place to fly and the landing area was a dream.
This place gets a 8/10. Would have made 9/10 but for the long walk up from the car park. Terry - all is forgiven! Good call.
