…. Were it not for the fact that this has wasted countless millions which we can ill-afford, …..

:rolleyes: … such irony!

Have a great weekend Derek! 🙂

The cost is now north of £100m and will probably rise.

That said some clouds had silver linings! 😉

Not wishing to underplay the importance of a satisfactory outcome to this investigation and recovery, but I keep wondering whether the embassy staff have other perhaps more pressing issues to deal with at this difficult time in the region.

Another update about this event has been added to the news page – another cockpit booked in; plus the first author enlisted for book signing!

Plus, a potential wee bit of event creep!! 😉

Tom, I’ve just emailed your mayor – I hope that it proves to be of assistance! 🙂

Thanks for that insight Praesta – even more eagerly anticipated now!

I haven’t seen any drafts but I know that Tim has been working very hard on the project for several years. I’ve helped in a couple of minor areas and I also know that he’s used the Newark Air Museum Archive.

Ironically in the last few months I have personally got more involved with bits of research into 5 LFS and a couple of its crews, which has drawn out some fresh information.

Only last week I went down to the Hoveringham memorials to put up some small signs to help an Australian gentleman try to make contact with the relatives of his brother’s crew that were lost from Syerston in April 1944. During this summer the Australian gentleman visited RAF Syerston with me to see where his brother had taken off from, which was a very moving experience. Both Tim and Lady Helen Nall had provided some contact details to help make that visit possible.

If anyone would like to read about this latest 5 LFS research and visit, please PM me an email address and I’ll send over a PDF file.

Finally don’t forget to check out for details about Tim O’Brien’s book on RAF Syerston – ‘RAF Syerston: Praesta in Officiis’ look at this link to the NAM website!

Astir,

I have emailed over the newsletter that I mentioned and I have now just seen Antoni’s post re the Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum – please let me know if you require any specific contact names within that organisation. 🙂

Education, eduaction, education…

The world of aviation / education seems to have gone crazy (in the best possible way) in this part of the world – I acted as a facilitator today for 72 young people from South Yorkshire studying the principles of flight at Newark Air Museum. A brilliant group of knowledgeable youngsters; their enthusiasm for the topic; and the opportunity to enable them to go inside a Wessex made for a very rewarding day! 🙂

Three more school groups visiting next week and one more just booked in for the first week of December – great times for aviation / education in this part of the world! 😉

Astir, in 2004 a SZD-30 Pirat glider (BGA-1470) was donated to Newark Air Museum by a member of the Polish AFA Gliding Club and it was returned to flight in early 2006 and is currently being flown by members of the former Gliding Club at Winthorpe who now operate out of Darlton, North East Notts.

If you PM me an email address I’ll send over a newsletter article about the project – the Pirat still carries the Polish AFA Gliding Club name on its nose.

Posts on other fora seem to indicate that CA is being incorporated into Aviation News. 😉

An interesting item appeared in the Sunday Express yesterday to help bring the Year of Aviation towards a close, before new horizons beckon http://www.express.co.uk/features/view/357565/RAF-bravery-never-to-be-forgotten

Well if you have, then you will know exactly what I mean!

I totally agree – the local and regional coverage should be protected – it is hardly a major expense. In fact I am in the middle of an ongoing argument with the BBC about cuts to local radio.

Thanks to my wife it is already free!!:)

Last year as about now, I was setting up some media coverage for a major aviation event in this part of the world for a major Canadian broadcaster that had a bureau and news team in London. As soon as they knew that the BBC was also covering the event, they didn’t even leave the capital they just syndicated the coverage because they knew that it would fully meet their needs. Actions speak louder than words in my book.

I’m glad that we agree on the regional coverage- although you’d be wrong to think that it was not a major expense!

As for freeloading off your wife’s age you should be ashamed of yourself!! 😀
