Well the annual 2008 Monty Tyrrell scale rally has been run and won !
The weather god smiled upon us as well !! excellent day with light winds, and with 28 entries, a busy day ensured ! flying was excellent, and thankfully no prangs were recorded.
1st place went to Alan Male, flying a drifter ultalight, powered by a petrol motor. Alan flew the aircraft very well, and was very consistent in taking off, flying and landing.
2nd place went to Mark Collins, flying his magnificent DC3. Mark had problems with one of the motors going off song, but never the less, flew the aircraft to credible 2nd place. Well done Mark !
