On the west coast, this all started with the� Ducks Head“ which was a real dead duck head glued to a placket. It was flown to another club and the only way to get rid of it was to fly it out to another club..........it was something that no self respecting club would ever keep! I always thought it should have a log book, so that the flights could be recorded..
Remembrances of fun days!
