BMFA Indoor Nationals 2022

The BMFA Indoor Scale Nationals returns after a 2 year gap due to Covid and what a great event it turned out to be. Huge thanks to Graham Kennedy, Mike Stuart and the team for organising it

I had a great day though the filming had to fit in around my own classes ( and repairs) so I didn't necessarily get the best flights.

The last 4 mins is the Air Race with excellent live commentary by Peter Smart
