I'm afraid that's not the whole story, worm. I was uncomfortable about the way it all ended but there were members who were going to just walk away from it and the site would have been closed down. Members were told that they were wrong, useless, losers and "couldn't fly a kite". It ended ...

Many roads lead to Rome, as they say.

It's 2 degrees this morning heading to about 13. Middle of winter Dave.

Yes, Devo, I was very lucky and I have no one to blame but me.
To have lost such a well bred and good youngster would have been awful.

I made a dreadful mistake yesterday morning. It was cold and I was not breathing very well and I didn't have my mind on what I was doing. When I let the birds out I let them out into the sputnik then release them. The birds are very good, they know the system. They have very nice manners and line up...

It turned out quite nice today, so I took the young birds, plus two younger ones that have really come along well, out for a decent fly after lunch. There was a side wind, but they dropped on the board together at 1150 yards per minute. I was quite happy with that. Well done Muzza, good to see that...

Clear and frosty this morning.

Awful. So young.
Their poor parents losing two sons.
In a Lamborghini so who know how fast they were travelling.
