We,
Treble None Squadron, are a small group of RC Flyers, operating at RAF
Leuchars, in Scotland. We are flying a large variety of turbine powered
models, most weekends, RAF traffic permitting. Although we operate only
turbine powered models at Leuchars, we are all experienced in most of
the usual R/C disciplines, Scale, Aerobatics, Helicopters, and Sport models.
We would welcome any active or prospective modellers on the base to
contact us, for help or information, or just to spectate. We usually
operate on the base from 10.00-17.00 local most Saturdays, and details
of our visits can be obtained from
jockjets@aol.com
If you've never
seen a model jet fly, then it is
certainly worth a visit.
Here’s
just a few of the many Models that we fly to whet your appetite………
This
Hawk belongs to Ron Fraser, a modeller of many years experience, who
took up jet flying two years ago, at age 76!!! An ex Lancaster pilot, he
has taken to this new discipline like a duck
to water. He has now completed his second Hawk, in a "Reds" scheme, and
will be at LU in the near future for it's maiden flight.
The
F-15 belongs to Andy Rudden, and has been mostly responsible for
entertaining ATC during our visits. Holding it down until reaching about
200kts, then pulling vertical when in line with the tower, he always
gets the vote for best flight of the day from ATC, at the end of the
day.
Darren
French, a Sea-King pilot from Lossiemouth, makes the occasional trip to
Leuchars, and flies a variety of turbine models, including an L-39
Albatross.
A few
sport/trainer models are in evidence, used to keep in
practice whilst
building scale models.
