East of Scotland LAA Strut
Fly-in at East Fortune East
1st & 2nd August
Keith Griggs and the East of Scotland Strut held a Fly-in over the weekend.
We are honoured to have Simon Tilling the CEO of the LAA who flew in in his North American Navion.
As with all Fly-ins in Scotland we were totally dependent on good weather for success. Saturday was very windy and only a handful came.
However Sunday's weather was excellent, 10 knots wind and plenty of sunshine. There were 26 arrivals. Overall a great success. KitFoxs ad Sky Rangers were in evidence and a fine cross section of Permit Aeroplanes. Some visitors went across the airfield to enjoy the Aircraft Museum of Scotland and learn about the airship history of the airfield. Tim Rayner, our inspector, provided non-stop barbecued hamburgers and salad trimmings. There were endless teas and coffees to lubricate the talk of aerolanes. Prizes were awarde both days for longest flight.
We should thank Keith Griggs and our members for spending the previous week turning this multi-use site into an working airfield.
A great time was had by all.
