THE BMFA WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT “It was a dark and stormy night”, or it might as well have been. 17 of us turned up with models to fly, and at midday precisely all 17 were in the air
This was at five minutes to go. The rain had just started and a few models were in the air. Here’s the launch at one second to 12. A raindrop conceals some of the guilty. Sister Clubs were not quite so lucky. Phoenix had ten fliers - you will see some faces you recognise But George Worley reports that Basingstoke MFC had a huge downpour over the key period and were unable to fly.
