As readers are aware the Newsletter comes out only three or four
times a year so its usefulness in announcing events and news is limited
to things planned well in advance. Of course announcements are made at
our monthly meetings but this does not help distant Members or those
who cannot attend.
Consequently our website www.hawkerassociation.org.uk, run by
Richard Cannon, has become a primary source of short term information
for Members. Please do log-in regularly to keep track of what is
happening - you wouldn’t want to miss anything!
If you are not ‘on line’ why not link up with a member who is and check with him by telephone?
An outstanding display was performed in excellent weather. A
highlight was a Hawker formation: a Hurricane Mk I, two Nimrods and a
Demon. Unfortunately a fifth aircraft, a Hind went unserviceable.
If you have never been to Flying Legends, go next year. It is the
best ‘warbirds’ show outside the USA and is great value as you get
entry to the Museum included in the ticket price, which is reduced for
OAPs, in addition to a four hour display; and for a fiver you can visit
the flight line and photograph the aircraft unimpeded. Heaven!
