They come to our Country, fly our Aeroplanes…
A day in the life of Frank Jaerschky We had a very welcome visitor in October, all the way from Comox BC, an Air Traffic Controller by trade and a model maker in his extensive spare time. We went to the Tank Museum at Bovington (DWISOTT) and Stonehenge and at the last moment the weather cleared and we came up to Strawberry Field with some models. Even while I was walking the dog round the field someone had pressed a TX into his hands and he was flying a foamie aerobat round and round (it was Trevor’s I believe).
Before long he had his hands on a WOT4 “I thought I’d better not do an inverted low pass” then the Multiplex aerobatic biplane belonging to Malcolm. Then another model...I can’t remember there were so many.
That evening we collected Frank’s wife Lee Ann and went to Trevor and Mary’s for dinner, examined the Ripmax Shield for the C&F that had recently returned to its normal place on his top shelf, saw the collection of models in the workshop and store and after a splendid evening drove back. The next day they caught the coach for Heathrow and the Canadian sunset.
