Last Pegusus and Tangmere

THE LAST PEGASUS

The last of 1270 Bristol/Rolls-Royce Pegasus engines has been built at Filton, just like all its predecessors.

To date they have accumulated over 1.8 million flying hours in the Harrier family which will continue in service for at least another decade so overhaul and modification work will contribute to R-R revenues for some time yet.

TANGMERE HAWKER WEEKEND

Several Members met at the Tangmere Military Aircraft Museum on 17th July for their Hawker weekend.

Apart from the pleasure of meeting old colleagues it was rather disappointing as there were no special Hawker displays or exhibits, although a Hurricane did make an appearance in the afternoon.

However, as always, it was a pleasure to visit this excellent museum and admire Hunter WB188 in 'racing red'.
