Hi everyone, this is the regular Thursday posting to let you know what is coming up in the near future
This week
Winter Lecture Mike Groves
Those who attended the talk by Mike Groves on Saturday, despite the poor weather had a massive treat. He talked about the Bond film with pictures showing how it was set up, how they positioned the winch i.e. with cranes, the amount of practice runs with video and then how it looked on the film. Everyone said that they thoroughly enjoyed it Mike continued over the dinner giving more information as people asked.
Discus Sale
I am delighted to say that we have sold the Discus to Walter Baumann. Walter has been a very keen Discus pilot, he has taken it to competitions. The CFI has his eye on a more suitable single seater aircraft for us and undoubtedly will share more on Saturday
Your team this weekend is:
Saturday: Clive Crocker, Allan Reynolds, Simon Adlard, Laurent Couval
Sunday: Mike Witton, Nigel Lassetter, Simon Adlard, Dave d’Arcy
