****** What could we buy with

In the last month WB922 has flown a record 158 launches. The previous record was 90 in August 2003 when we first bought it. Thanks to everyone who has donated monies, time, effort and spare parts to the vintage flight!

Even more flying over two fantasic evenings! With Kevin Burns flying solo. There are some more images up – please send any you have to [email protected].

Solo to are Mark Ashton, Dom Zalewski, Phil Maund. Syndicate Renewal is Due!

After a number of flights Monday 2nd May it was noticed that the threaded bar joining the aileron bar to the right hand control column was severed 9/10ths of the way through, in fact after further inspection and movement it then snapped completely. Fortunately, it happened on the ground!!!

Andy Linham got his Bronze at the end of 2004 – well done.

Insurance paid – although the account is still due a large amount of money by members.

Jim Burton gets his Bronze.
