To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Guernsey Model Club a Piper Cub replica was flown between Guernsey and Herm. Five pilots flew the 2.44 metre wingspan aircraft which took off from Bordeaux, Guernsey. The pilots had three controllers all operating on the same frequency so they did not have to hand them over each time. The flight lasted about 15 minutes each way.
Flying the plane over the sea was a challenge as the boat couldn’t keep up with the plane so it had to fly in circles while it caught up!
