Dear Member,
Please take time to read the following important HAC information.
TUE 3 OCT SOCIAL – AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY (& OCTOBERFEST!)
Famous aviation photographer, Keith Wilson, is visiting the HAC next Tuesday, so MAXIMUM ATTENDANCE PLEASE! This should be an outstanding evening, so arrive early enough to get a seat. Bar open and food available – bring cash. 1900hrs pre-drinks.
FLEET UPDATE
> KI – due to go for 100hr service tomorrow onwards (weather-permitting).
> TM – now ready for collection and will be swapped with KI. A few days later we will have 2 x C-152s.
> GA – Serviceable with 45hrs to next service.
> DK/BJ – these aircraft have gone to RAF Benson and RAF Waddington and have removed from the EBS TFN.
WINTER IS COMING
With just a month to the end of BST and Storm Agnes inbound, the weather is starting to change. We will write to you over the coming weeks with a reminder of winter considerations. Meantime, please ensure insects are cleaned off windscreens, leading edges, spats, cowlings and aft-face of propellers after every flight.
WINTER PROJECTS
At the next committee meeting we will look to allocate funds for some infrastructure improvements to be carried out in Jan-Mar 2024. I will be looking for a few volunteers to run these projects in a future email.
FLYOUT 15 OCT CANCELLED
With just one expression of interest following the last email, the Stow Maries Flyout is cancelled.
THE AIRFIELD
Refurbishment of the chalk markings is almost complete and are highly visible from the circuit. The Airfield surface is in excellent condition. Last landing is getting close to 1900hrs(L), so make the most of the remainder of BST – get booking.
See you next Tuesday,
Mark
