At the Schaffen-Diest Annual Fly-In, Belgium, August 1991

Schaffen-Diest was and still is a really great fly-in destination.

For the 91 meet Steve and Beq Clark drove in as the ground crew with tents, bbq and food, whilst the club aircraft flew across with the partygoers.

The subsequent event with masses of aircraft, displays and fellow campers, complete with huge hangar party was a fabulous experience.

Club Rally, 1993

Quite often a crew would have to wait for their slot to head out on the nav competition - which wasn't too much of a hardship in the soft German summer.

Paul was very much one of the Club regulars in the early 1990's.

Turbine Islander G-LIPP was visiting during the 1993 Club Rally. She was based at the British Army Parachute Centre at Bad Lippspringe, where Club member Mitch Page was one of her regular pilots.

Club Rally 1993 - En Route

The outward and homeward legs from UK to the rally meant that Midden Zeeland was always a good stop for fuel for both aircraft and occupants.

Here photographer Steve Clark has bumped into Mitch Page and Phil Mummery plus other fellow travellers.
