SEBMFA SCALE DAY 2006

Keith Miller reports on the fixed wing and helicopter event at the Bickley club field on July 2

Held in the middle of a searingly hot heat wave, which, coupled with intense traffic delays due to a nearby Brands Hatch event and local craft fair, possibly put many people off from attending as entries were only a few up on last year's event held in October.
In particular, helicopter entries were very low, resulting in one man, Bob Cook of the Eynsford HMC scooping all three heli prizes, including the magnificent Len Mount Trophy with his Bell 47G.
In fixed wing there was some really stunning models and with judging as usual by the pilots themselves, Don Coe and his Sopwith Pup proved a worthy winner of the Towner Trophy
