Martinique is still closed down (probably until late November) so a select few are still flying at Bramshott.

Border Model Aircraft Club is relegated to Bramshott today as Martinique is not accessible this month. There was a relatively low turnout but whilst we there Tony showed us how adept he is at catching his quad in mid air.
