Gutted I missed this, (Lie-in required today!) - When’s the next meet? :+1:

I doubt we’ll get such good weather again for a while, but it was fantastic to see @KayKay @SputnikTheAirDog MrsSputnik @stevesb @PingSpike @barryb and @Fatboy this morning, and associated drones. Seven in the air together was really something to see: I believe we had an Inspire, Typhoon, Anafi, Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom flying together - did I miss anything?

This was quite a good location early in the morning, but suggestions for other places to meet are welcome. I’ll definitely be heading for Rivington Pike Tower at some point but that is even more vulnerable to wind so may be hard to plan with confidence. I’m also considering a trip to Scammonden Water.

I’m surprised what a cordial bunch of guys you all are. :rofl: was great to meet you all, and put faces to names and names to logins.
I’m looking forward to the next. Rivington definitely will be on my hit list.

you missed the low flying manned aircraft trying to get in on the act :rage:

Flying low enough that we could have filmed it from above!

An early start as usual…but a perfect day for flying couldnt had asked for more. Good to meet up with some of the lads on the forum and put a face to the name…looking forward to our next meet.

I actually think that was at about 300ft AGL so 200ft lower than it should have been.

You got some cracking photos there guys!

Thanks again @kvetner for organising it mate :clap:t2:

I’m glad nobody mentioned me walking up to a curious member of the public and shaking his hand, introducing myself, thinking he was a fellow club member :man_facepalming:t2: :blush:

Few pics from my phone:

LOVED the Typhoon H and it’s controller :drooling_face:

And if you look closely, there are five drones in this shot.

Which according to @stevesb is officially a swarm :smiley:

I’m still scratching my head over that light aircraft that came in over the reservoir at 200ft :man_shrugging:

Will post some drone pics later :+1:t2:
