These pictures are of the Beeston flying club where i first flew and learnt to fly, sadly this club no longer exists as the rugby club needed more and more time to play rugby (american football for morons). You can see me in the picture above on my bycycle, to the left is my instructor (left) with a friend (right) who was also learning to fly at the time. To the right is a photo of the site taken from an aircraft. |

This is the Trent MFC flying site situated at Nottingham race course, we have a large grass expanse to fly over, the only obstructions being the various goal posts scattered around the field.Also subsidence is making the take off landing area ever hillier. Above is taken from the pits looking out over the flying area and left is the pits area. We can fly most of the time assuming the field isn't being worked on. |

The site above is behind Nottingham Racecourse in Colwick Park I fly off this lake three weekends a year at waterplane events organised by the British Waterplane Assosiation. Many people attend these events from all over the country and a steadily growing number of Trent members now have waterplanes. |
