Another month gone and again very dry and windy too! For me, the opportunities for flying this year seem to have been limited (not just because of adverse weather), but I did hear a comment from one member who ordinarily visits regularly, that the weather has certainly curtailed the opportunity he has had to go flying.

He is coming good, so we wish Fred a speedy recovery and we hope to see him ... Read More

Nevermind, I got their in the end, so hopefully the wait was worth it. STOP PRESS Max Wiggins advises (August 5) that Kevin Swiggs has been admitted to hospital with another bout of ... Read More
