This video material was taken at the Vintage Model Gathering at Cocklebarrow Farm.
The setting is the Cotswold in the heart of England, UK
I have not put narration on as many have requested.. Enjoy
Warm's my heart to watch those beautiful aircraft fly! They are the best. Well done, gentlemen!
Love the old classics.
Can't beat em nearly finished mine can't wait for madian flight
What a glorious sight to see these gentlemen in their golden years still enjoying this great hobby. I'm 75 & currently have 3 models under various stages of construction. It never gets old!
Beautiful
so many happy memories thanks for reminding me
I have been building models for 60 years and have built many different types. Watching this video brings back to me the pure joy of flying these old timers. As I get older I am finding It stressful to fly some of my faster planes and I am now inspired to return to build an "Old Timer" Thanks for a beautiful video.
Great vid mate nice flight s all round 👍👍👍👍
I love the look and flying characteristics of these oldtimer airplanes. I've had many and recognize many of these. And they are actually flying on fuel instead of electric. Very few at our field have glow engines anymore. Anything less than 30cc seems to be electric, 30cc and up is gas or turbine.
Four years later and I'm watching it again, great stuff 👍 That near miss at 7:40 is just classic, the way the lady stands back and waits for the impact while the pilot just slightly side steps 😁
This bought back so many happy memories from the mid 1980’s going to these “ events with my dad
He had a Majestic major and a Powerhouse both fitted with if I remember with OS and Enya 60’s and 90’s and Jim Shelly’s Mini Mags
Remember a great character Mike Wittard and a chap called Cookie
This was pre mobile phones you just had to find the correct field when you got there
Halcyon days
Good to see people enjoying their hobby.
Only once been to the Cotswold, half a day on a business trip to see my old aunt in Chipping Campden. The drive and countryside took my breath away, it was absolutely lovely. To fly vintage models there sounds like heaven to me. I am just starting a 'new' model, building an old Berkeley Powerhouse 41 kit, will use a Bantam .19. Next after that is a Consolidated StratoStreak, also for the same engine range but haven't decided what it gets yet.
I must say, although I enjoy both in their own right and I appreciate the convenience of the combination, electric power and old timers is something that has zero appeal to me. Seems to lose the life, or - ha ha - the spark. Just my own preferences. IC all the way. A burbling engine adds to the tension and excitement to me.
Excellent
I like these stylish looking models and they are just designed as models, so the fly right, most of the models people fly today are scaled of full size plane and that doesn't always work,
I can appreciate how enjoyable it is to fly slowly and catch the odd thermal.
Good show men.
These videos are great! I really like the venue, the planes and the daring young lads' flying. Thank you!
Quality video, superb subject, marvellous.
Nicely presented, sir. It is refreshing to have the pleasure of seeing an evenly-paced video; not in-your-face or frenetic. I hope you will continue to present these dignified and thoroughly enjoyable pieces; a rarity now, sadly to
say. Thank you and best wishes from a colonial.
This was just fantastic!
I hope he remembered to wind the rubber band for the escapement control of the rudder.
Great stuff! But the shot of the wife trying to warn hubby of 'incoming' and him just ducking his head at 7:40 is just priceless:)
Thats why women shouldnt be allowed to drive.
Ñññ
And 4.45 must know thanks
A really relaxing video, and then at the last second...
I'm so envious of that lovely runway. Ours is rugged,by comparison.
Beautiful airplanes!!!
I love this hobby and it breaks my heart that the young people aren't interested in it anymore because they are all playing video games and th FAA just made us all criminals if we don't install remote ID on our planes and transmitter... under the guise of SAFETY... If they had done a risk assessment studys they would have concluded that remote ID doesn't increase public safety at all because if someone has bad intentions registration isn't a preventive it only criminalizes the law abiding hobbyist. Anyway I guess all of us Dinosaurs are dying off anyway.
Super !
I am currently making a sportster 2 that is 7.15sec in this video. Still have the original plans
Beautiful vintage models. Modern rtf models are not in the same league.
Built a few oldtime gassers early on and have one problem with that type, they all pretty much look and fly the same😎
You should all be flying gliders !! Lots of thermals arround that day !!
hi guys I so miss my jounior 60 with a os 25 fs up front now its all electric at least my glesses stay clean lol peace out
Amazing
Nice video
Is there any possibility to add the names of the planes to your next video?
I'd like to see Mr Bean episode of trying to start and fly a spark ignition free flight model
What is the name of the very first plane?
Name of plane, size, engine used would be good,
What modal is the big yellow and red 1 with 4 stroke engine on it i
Vintage modeling at its BEST TRUE MODELERS.
AS A MODELER FOR 50 YEARS AND STILL FLYING I HAVE SO MUCH TIME FOR THESES GUY'S.
A BIG 👎👎🤭. To all THESES ready BUILT INTERNET TOYS ON LINE.
WELL DONE GUY'S WELL APPRECIATE. 👍
Hi celticmemoriesbfw, what a great video. Thanks for posting to youtube. Would it be too much to ask what the name of the very last piece of music was, the artist, and where I may purchase the cd? Thanks a lot. Dwain Marcus
Just starting to build a Majestic Major from scratch what power 2 stroke do i need i have a 61 merco that likes a large prop and runs real sweet .
They have to do that because they were small boys when they got hooked and the authentic size thus appears too small.
Can someone tell me the name of the first model shown in this video? Are plans available? Any info will be much appreciated.
I'd really like to know the first model featured - the ivory colored with burgandy trim...?
Red zephyr
Hi I'm no expert but I think it's called a Super Scorpion . It looks to be an enlarged version.
Another early name for it was the 'Answer' Spifire type wing shape with thin undercambered wing.
Regards Neil
@@haydnrees2408 definitely not
ohm myyyyy. :)
8.56, who farted then? pilot must have been scared!
Plane name??? 3:37
Majestic Major
3.20 minutes into vid
On reflection I love rc models but they are predictable, whereas free flight isn't.
There it is free-flight elite-ism
Many of these models are scaled up. To me, that's not vintage.
