Over the  first  weekend in  February 1998 I went  down to the Purbecks to  meet
Terry, Ricky and  Tony Van Geffen of  Silent  Flight  to take  some  photographs
for the forthcoming review  of the Adrenaline in  Silent Flight which will be on 
sale March 27th.

The venue for the flying  shots  was  Ringstead  Bay, just outside  Weymouth. For
those who have not  visited this site it is an excellent Coastal site  that flies
south-westerly winds.

Unfortunately the lift was also a little on the light side and that  with a small 
helping of pilot error (showing off) lead to me crashing  the  Adrenaline  whilst  
doing  a low inverted pass for the camera. That'll teach me to try  and show off.

You might have noticed it's not me holding the model for the covershot - appare-
ntly I'm too old and need a haircut and shave. Next time my eldest son, John can
stay at home!
 
Apologies for the quality of the photographs but it was a cold foggy  day and the
light was very poor - not conducive to good quality digital photographs.
