Hello all,
We at Today’s Pilot magazine need your help.
As you may have noticed over the last few months we have been compiling the list of nominations for the Today’s Pilot Century of Flight Poll.
You, as forum users, have had your say and have helped produce shortlists of 40 military aircraft, 40 civil aircraft, 40 military personalities, 40 civil personalities and 40 historical events from the first century of powered flight
Now we need you to do one last thing – we need you to vote for your winner in each of the five categories.
Voting is simple, you can either go to the Today’s Pilot website at http://www.todayspilot.co.uk to cast your vote, fax me on +44 (0) 1780 757261 or e-mail [email]stephen.bridgewater@keypublishing.com[/email] Alternatively you can post your votes to Today’s Pilot, PO Box 100 , Stamford, Lincs, PE9 1XQ
Voting closes on NOVEMBER 17 and the details of the winners will be published on the website and in the January 2004 issue of Today’s Pilot (on sale December 3).
As an added incentive each vote will be entered into our prize draw to win anything from a Today’s Pilot polo shirt to a fantastic HOLIDAY FOR TWO.
If you vote in all five categories you get five chances to win – it’s simple!
To ensure that your favourite is appropriately placed in the poll be sure to vote. Have your Say – Vote Today
Best wishes and Good Luck
