I was at the field today between 14:00 & 15:00 all on my own , good flying too. There is a dead sheep along the fence line towards the gate from the pits, I saw the farmer so reported this to her. I hope no one had plans for a BBQ Smile .

It's a shame that the release didn't release, reading that sheep's mind where the f**k did that come from.

Contrary to belief nobody ever wants to see a crash, let alone you crashing.

Well that was fun! Some spectacular carnage, some cracking gliders on display, and even a bit of lift about. I managed a 20 minute flight with an F5d pylon racer!

Here's a few pictures from the Search and Rescue Multirotor, which was called out on an emergency early on in the day:
