Memorial Day Weekend 2009 Report
and Pictures - Sunday May 24th

Despite the weather breaking up a bit later on the Saturday, all in all conditions were fairly kind and a good amount of flying was achieved - with a reasonable turnout. Thanks to Pat Ryan who was armed and vigilant with his camera, a good many pictures were taken and a selection has been chosen to hopefully give a flavor of the event.

These images were taken on the Sunday May 24th.  There is a selection taken on Saturday 23rd, also by Pat Ryan, which can be seen on this page. Now plus also - a slide show of more assorted pic's from that weekend.
