ROBIN FLY-IN Review Saturday 5th June 2010

Pilots taking part in the Defect Competition. Is it safe to fly??

This years Robin Fly-in was blessed with good weather and another good turn out of Robin aircraft. No less than 39 Robins of 6 different types attended with foreign visitors arriving from France, Belgium and Germany.

British contingent flew in from as far as Sherbern, Barton, Newquay, Leicester with the closest popping in from just down the road in Pluckley.

With lots of prizes on offer this year, the Spot the Defect Competition on a DR400 proved very popular. The winner was Carl Sargeant who flew his DR400 in from Goudhurst here in Kent. Carl got all 10 defects correct and won the hamper full of goodies courtesy of LAS Aerospace. Happy polishing Carl.
