Editorial
We have a very significant anniversary coming up in November - 50 years
since the first hover of Ralph Hooper's P.1127 prototype, XP831. Spare
a moment to consider what this first step led to and how much the lives
of many of us were influenced by it. We owe Ralph, and Gordon Lewis
(who sadly died in October), Bristol's BE53 designer, a great debt of
gratitude.
Our traditional Christmas
Lunch is coming up; please note that the date is 8th December, not 15th
as given in earlier Newsletters.
