Sounds like the best turn out for many years! Thanks for everyone's reply ! I have been talking to the guys at Inglewood they tell me the dinner was another hit. Hope that the tribute to Wayne was a special moment and that everyone had a drink to honour the god of drifters ! As you can all see I am new to this website , but shall keep an eye on it so I don't miss any of the great fly ins planned. Just a little about me for you all. I began flying Hang gliders many years ago and learnt at Byron and then flew a lot of inland in my home town of Killarney. Heaven for hang gliders ! Having the problem of retrieving vehicle from launch site and so on, I progressed onto motor harnesses as a launch platform. Not always when burning fuel does a hang glider go up !!! So I then decided I needed more power, and hence the drifter was parked in my shed. Have not really looked back since, but do miss the silence of the thermals on the odd occasion! Still fun trying to thermal the drifter thou. Now that I have the extra seat I very rarely travel alone as my wife is permanently fixed in the back seat. We like to just head off and camp in different areas where ever we can find room to land. I've been attending Inglewood for the last nine years and my wife has been there also for last four. Both really disappointed we missed this year. Anyway we are onto it for next year . Thanks to you all. We are now living in the Lockyer valley just south of Atkinson Dam with our little strip of 315 metres ( 24 - 06 ) running parallel to seven mile lagoon on the western shore line. Any one traveling thru is welcome to drop in for a coffee and chat if you can get into short strips. And not to mention the bird life on the lagoon is amazing for those interested in bird watching. Is the flying at Mt Archer a Fly in & Camp week end ? Till then , take care and safe flying.
