3 in 1 (the Triathlon), 14 May 2023 – Photos

A new club record for 2023, though sadly not a new national record. Overall the BMFA recorded 2,224 craft in the air this year.

That’s :

Another cracking day! 

We had 50 members and guests attending and all bar one planned to participate in the World Record Attempt. Sadly Ron Gray was running the 4 flights lines so couldn’t take part in the flying. We also had one ‘failed to start’. So, 50 people, 49 potential participants, 48 in the air at 12:00 noon. Well done and thanks to everyone who took part.

I also have two brief but interesting videos of the skies during the World Record Attempt. These can be expanded to full screen if you wish:

Firstly a glimpse of 3 flight lines, followed by ‘in the air’:
