a vibrant future for all types of model building and flying, but if we
have the correct goals and each take a role we can make this a thriving
hobby/sport in the 21st Century.
So I wish you all a relaxed holiday period and when you’re with
your family and friends, particularly the youngest members, do take
the opportunity of doing a bit of indoor fun flying - even if it is just a
paper plane! Here’s to good flying in 2016.

PASSING OF THE YEAR
nevitably as Christmas approaches and 2015 draws to an end,
one looks back at what has happened in the last 12 months
and looks hopefully forward. It is sad to note the passing of
modellers well known and also to acknowledge that many others
have also died who are not national figures but are the main
stays of their local clubs. It can seem at times that we are a dwindling
band of stalwart traditional aeromodellers, but it is easy to be too
pessimistic – a look back to AeroModeller in the 1960s will show that
the same concerns were then being raised, yet we are still here.
We must not be so relaxed that we take no positive action to ensure
THE FUTURE OF FREE FLIGHT CONFERENCE
he Free Flight Technical Committee
(FFTC) of the BMFA is holding a
conference on the Future of Free Flight
at Husbands Bosworth airfield (the
headquarters of the Coventry gliding
club, about 10 miles South East of Leicester), on
Sunday 31st January 2016.
Recent changes in the requirements for military land
use will have radical implications on the future use of
MOD sites for Free Flight. Indicative of this is the
current concern over Middle Wallop as a venue for
SAM 1066 organised vintage events – a new set of
restrictions may curtail some FF activities, and thus a
SAM 1066 EGM had been organised for 16th January
2016 (see www.sam1066.org)
T
The FFTC realises that these changes will alter the
way that Free Flight is organised and operated and
is evolving a plan to ensure the continuance of Free
Flight in the UK.
At the conference the FFTC will outline its
proposals. The FFTC wants input from the free
flight community (whether flying competition, sports
or vintage FF models) with respect to this future
planning. If you have thoughts and ideas be there and
make your voice heard.
For more details and to book your place at the
conference on 31st January (there is no charge
to attend) contact the FFTC Chairman Mike
Woodhouse at MichaelWoodhouse1942@gmail.com or
01603 457754
Mia Dixon is a regular flyer at the FF Nats but we need more youngsters.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA
otthelf Wiedermann has provided the aerial shots of
Old Warden in the report on page 40, but later on the
camera attached to his Belair Kits Cleveland Viking
caught something unexpected. His poor Viking
became a ‘mid-air’ victim when somebody crashed
his twice-size Junior 60 into the back of it! Fortunately repairs were
relatively easy, so he says he got away lightly. The attached stills
from the video show the other model looming in to view…

he high point for
the youngsters at
Old Warden on
the last Sunday in
September was again
the Catapult Launched Glider
competition organised by Ken
and Sheila Sheppard of ModelAir
(www.modelair.info) with support
from Belair Kits (www.belairkits.
com). Belair not only supply
the laser cut gliders, but there is
help with building and trimming
from Leon Cole’s sons, Josun and
Edward. One only has to watch
the fun the children have building
and decorating the gliders, together
with the determination they
show with the catapult, to know
that aeromodelling has a bright
future IF youngsters have the
right introduction and continued
support.

The juniors
patiently waited
their turn to
launch.
t is almost exactly 100 years
since the Sopwith 1�½ Strutter
made its first flight, and
to recognise this Richard
Crossley has designed this
month’s free plan, while Cedric
de la Nougerede has produced a
magnificent painted cover in the best
AeroModeller tradition. Here Cedric
gives some background to his choice
of subject.
“Geoffrey Hornblower Cock was
born on 7th January 1896 and
joined the army, 28th Battalion of
the Artists Rifles Officer Training
Corps, in December1915. After
transferring to the Royal Flying
Corps in June 1916, he was assigned
to No. 45 Squadron as a Temp.
2nd Lieutenant. He was credited
with thirteen victories, making
him the highest scoring ace to
fly the Sopwith 1�½ Strutter. At
a time when the Albatros D111
was dominant in the sky, of his 13
victories, 11 were Albatros D111’s,
1 was an Albatros DV and 1 was a
Siemens-Schuckert D1.
He was awarded the Military
Cross ‘For conspicuous gallantry
and devotion to duty. On many
occasions showing great courage
and determination in attacking and
destroying hostile aircraft and in
dispersing hostile troops from a low
altitude. His skill as a formation
leader has set an example to other
pilots.’
Cock was shot down on his 97th
sortie on 22nd July 1917 by Wilheim
Reinhard of Jasta 11, and spent the
rest of the war in a prison camp.
He remained with the Royal Air
Force until he retired as a Group
Captain in 1943, and died on 16th
February 1980.”
