Afandi Darlington
is an experienced aerodynamicist and expert competition glider pilot
who has worked for BAe and Richard Noble. Currently he is a partner in
Optimal Aerodynamics, a consultancy working on the Noble aircraft, now
American owned and nearing completion in the USA. Chris Roberts, best
known to us as a Chief Test Pilot at Dunsfold, had an earlier career in
the RAF and a later one in civil aviation, hence the three front office
jobs. David Scrimgeour was the CO of the Kestrel Evaluation Squadron so
will talk to us from first hand experience.
Christmas Lunch
Following the successes of the last two years Percy
Collino has arranged another lunch for this year at the
Hawker Centre and negotiated the low £15 price. Phone
Percy on 020 8337 8143 then send him a cheque payable to
The Hawker Association. Seating is limited so again it will
have to be a 'no partners' event.
