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 :
- BMFA World Record Attempt
- Hanky Planky wacky Races, continuation (most Hanky Planky photos are on the dedicated pages here)
- Family Fun Day
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’:
