Dear Member,
A quick update from the HAC:
SPRING CLEAN – SUNDAY 8th MAY
See you on Sunday morning (ready to start work at 1000hrs) for the Spring Clean. To Exped participants, a reminder that the Exped Meeting that will take place after the Spring Clean.
ROYAL INTERNATIONAL AIR TATTOO – JULY 2022
We have managed to secure 2 x static display aircraft slots at the Royal International Air Tattoo. G-HACS and a C-152 will deploy to RAF Fairford on Thu 14 Jul 22 and return to RAF Halton on Mon 18 Jul 22. HAC members will be required to fly the aircraft in, stand by the aircraft and speak to members of the public (Fri 15, Sat 16 and Sun 17 Jul) and fly the aircraft back. HAC participants will share these days and duties. Deacon has volunteered to co-ordinate our participation and will start work on this soon.
