A bit of idle chit-chat from Tore (Loodin)
with his usual little touch of humour!
Hi Reg!
Thank you for the #35, as ever longed
for. I have not so much to contribute this time. As ever in springtime
the weekends are stuffed with model activities, many of them hampered
due to rain and wind. Saturday, I took part in a small planes meeting,
which was crowded with five modellers, one of them me. Of course I
semi-crashed my model in a gust, when hand launching. As the height was
low, it is repairable.
On Thursday it is a red letter-day,
here called "Christ goes to heaven" or "Christ fly
awayday" traditionally celebrated by RCflying in our fashionable
circles. I will attend Södertälje RC field as they celebrate the
Models Day there, very appropriate indeed. I will fly one of my
oldtimers, the Ben Buckle Super Playboy. I bought a kit from him many
years ago, when visiting Vintage models day at Old Warden.
Here is what we call the green winter,
very chilly and windy. The nights will have temperatures below the
freezing point. Please set up a fence to hold back the low pressures
sailing away from England to our shores!
My cat Truls is sitting in front of me,
looking at two seagulls fighting about a chunk of bread on the roof of
the house on the other side of the street. So I will send a picture of
him for the cats corner.
Fly safe!
Tore & cats
I know Tore won't mind me saying so,
but I just loved his English translation of the Swedish for Ascension
Day - "Christ fly awayday" sounds much more fun! He says he
doesn't have so much to contribute this time, but there's a nice little
batch of pictures from him on photo gallery
all the same and the Differential Movement article on air
space arises from his correspondence to me.
