WHITE SHEET FLYERS

Updated: 04/07/16

It’s always nice to put a face to a name, or perhaps name to a face! Below are some of the regular club members who fly at Whitesheet downs – all are very friendly and will happily tell you where the lift is… on your way back from the retrieval 😉 ​
Den Larking

Den Larking (Membership Secretary)

Absolute stalwart of WSRFC. In Den’s words: “When winter flying on Whitesheet, if you can be recoginised then you’re not wearing enough clothes”

Graeme Mahoney – a dedicated F3f pilot and Aero Engineer, Graeme is a regular Saturday morning flyer and is often to be found practising for the next big race.
