The Turb shots were taken at Challock Gliding Club,

Ah, that’ll be why I didn’t recognise it… Looking at Multimap, I guess that it’s somewhere on the Downs? Very nice, anyway, and it look as though it was a lot of fun. Thanks for posting them!

The Turb shots were taken at Challock Gliding Club, being higher than Headcorn, there was still a couple of inches more snow.
The others were at Headcorn.

Very nice – wasn’t sure it was Headcorn until the shot with Unigate (or whatever it is nowadays) behind. The Turbulent looks fantastic on skis!

Of course, when I was down there we had real winters – in 1985 we were sending sledge parties out from school to Kingswood for food, as they were getting it helicoptered in by the RAF! (settles down on sofa with pipe to bore younger generation)

Thanks, as a pilot I’ve never seen the point of leaving an aircraft that’s still working. Dropping in this cold weather conrfirms that they are actually bonkers.

Great shots. Surely they weren’t paradropping in that weather were they?

Great shots. Who said that aviation photography is limited to the airshow season?

I was told by someone who has flown a Turbulent in the winter that you can hold your hand in the exhaust stream to warm it up!

Top shots, really brightens a cold day 😎

Awesome! 😀

I bet it’s bloody chilly flying an open-cockpit monoplane in this weather, though! :diablo:
