THIRTY YEARS AGO
 
In March 1975 Hawker Siddeley News reported the following.
 
Mr Herbert Smith, who was Chief Designer for Sopwith Aviation in World War I, has been awarded Honorary Companionship of the Royal Aeronautical Society. The names Sopwith Camel, Pup, Snipe and Triplane are part of aeronautical history and of world-wide renown. Today, 85 year old Herbert Smith is again involved with the Triplane - the Northern Aeroplane Workshops, members of the British Aircraft Preservation Council, are constructing a Sopwith Triplane for the Shuttleworth Trust.
VISIT TO THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM, DUXFORD

A coach has been organised for this visit. The coach will depart from and return to the Hawker Centre where Members may leave their cars free of charge. The price, including museum entrance, is £15. Please book with Percy Collino at preceding meetings or 'phone him on 0208 337 8143.
