- Back at the Halton club field, just me there, initially.
Very hot, almost a flat calm, but the breeze was waking up towards the end of the flight.
If there's a next time, I'll try to angle the camera a bit lower, so you see more of the ground, and less of the sky.
You can see the heat haze/murk in the distance!
My apologies for the 'venetian blind' effect, that is caused by the camera looking through the propeller arc.

Don't confuse us with RAF Halton, in Buckinghamshire. This Halton is near Daresbury, just a couple of miles outside Warrington, in Cheshire.
We have sole use of a large well-drained open grass field with a landing strip that measures 155 x 37 Metres, oriented East/West.(so no dodging dog-walkers, sheep, or cattle, etc) a hard track leading to a hard-stand and turning circle by the cabin, with heating and cooking facilities, and 7 days a week access - dawn til dusk, set-up tables, and plenty of chairs. (and a proper lavatory - no finding a bush to water!) and the nearest residential house is a good half-mile away.
We fly anything from powered gliders to scale models, aerobats, helicopters and quads.
We even have a control-line circle, if that is your 'thing'.
There is plenty of open farmland on three sides - the fourth has a stand of trees separating us from the Motorway, which is a safe distance away, but can be rather noisy.
Sunday is the best day for casual visitors and potential members, as there is almost always someone there all day. By prior arrangement, weekday visits are possible.
