Dear Member,
After a 4-month operational deployment to the Middle East, I have returned to find that my fear of missing out of flying over the winter months was unfounded! Despite the continued storms and standing water, we have a fantastic flying year ahead of us and need to prepare for it now. All members were sent a copy of the 2020 HAC Calendar – I would like to draw your attention to its next 2 events:
SAT 21st MAR – 1000hrs – INAUGURAL EXPED MEETING
In the HAC Crewroom and should only last around 90 minutes. The 2020 Exped is planning to visit Poland and run between Sun 28 Jun-Sat 4 Jul. This first meeting is designed to inform all interested members of the:
- Aim of the Exped
- Duties ahead of the event
- Daily routine whilst down-route
- Anticipated flying, accommodation and other costs
If you are unable to attend the meeting but would still like to be considered for the event, email the Chairman at mark.manwaring2@ntlworld.com
SUN 29th MAR – 1000 – 1230hrs – SPRING CLEAN
This is a critical part of our pre-season preparation where all members of the Club are required to blitz the infrastructure and ensure that the Club aircraft are cleaned and protected ready for the flying season. I cannot stress how important this 2 ½ hr commitment is – without this, we would be forced to have the aircraft professionally cleaned, adding cost and down-time. The event will conclude with a lunch made to a 1940s RAF Night Flying Supper recipe. Friends and family all welcome! I will email again next week with a list of specialist equipment that might be useful on the day – meantime, please ring-fence these couple of hours to ensure your contribution to keeping the Club and its assets in top condition.
