2024 BMFA F3F League reserve 1

9 June 2024

Third placer Graeme Mahoney

BMFA F3F: Reserve 1

The reserve competition was held at Whitesheet Hill. Conditions were so-so, with a light WNW wind, and significant variation in the lift. Nevertheless we managed to complete a full 13 rounds and we had a lot of fun.

One nice thing was that the fields were awash with buttercups, which made for risk free landings as well as forming a beautiful backdrop for the camera!

The winner was Mark Redsell flying his FS6 with consistency and precision. Close behind was Dave Rumble, with local pilot Graeme Mahoney taking the final podium position.

Many thanks to the organisers and the Whitesheet club for a fun day out.
