Saw this coverage of Jet planes at the Jet-Flugtage festival in Germany on page 15 of 3rd Aug edition of Time of India Bangalore:

Only funny thing is that the author has referred a Bi-Plane (Bipe) as 'Double Decker' Plane!  :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:
Hope they don't look for seats in the upper and lower wings  :bow: :bow:

<Anwar, how about a sticky thread to report any  R/C coverage we see in public forums like News papers, TV News, magazines etc? >

Just reminds how much rare hobby ours is!!

But then there are people I bet, who could recognize planes from their engine sound, like 'Private Quelch' from the classic story 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' by Alexander Baron.

Ahhh! "Doppeldecker"
Now I see, so was the original reporter of German decent or did the UK Telegraph pick up the article from a German paper and did a literal transalation?
