BMFA League2 - 9th / 10th May 2009
report by Jon Edison
BMFA League R2 60inch
R2 was held at Horcum. The NYMRSC Club was very well represented with 9 members attending the 60inch on the Saturday and 14 members attending the F3F on the Sunday
On Saturday with winds gusting to 38mph, and from the SSW, flying the 60inch at Levisham proved to be tricky. Forecast was for the wind to swing W, but it never did. Flying ranged from ballistic to balmy!

BMFA League R2 F3F
Unfortunately the weather again didn't play ball for the F3F on the Sunday, and only 2 flights took place before the wind died totally. The competition was abandoned at 2pm.
Ben Steele was the poor guy in the air at the point the wind flipped from South to North, resulting in a long walk walk to the bottom of the South Bowl - We have all been there Ben!
