Knettishall Winter Solstice 2021
Well, not quite, it was dark by 15:58, but we tried hard. It was stupidly cold, but still and irresistable.
I had hoped to post some short videos in the gallery set of pictures, but still it refuses without pennies changing hands. So, stills in the gallery and below that are short videos.

A heck of a waste of a really fine summer evening, or a good investment for all the flying days ahead.

Many thanks to Craig Lipsett, Kev Fairgrieve, Mark Allen, Ron Gray and Steve Tarrant for their community spirit and excellent efforts.
