The Aston Down club is organising a coach trip to
Duxford Airplane Museum on Sunday 6th June.
We do not have the definitive price yet but it is expected to be about £25/30. (Unlike Cosford Duxford is not free and cost about £13 entrance fee)
Can you put this on both the SCSA and the
Gloucester club website. Every one is welcome and those interested should
contact me on
01453 824903 or by email.

Sunday
We had a good
session on Frocester this morning - where were you? The wind was between
SW and WSW mostly, which meant that sometimes it was working on the west face
making landing difficult. The picture is Ross's homebrew, about 2
years old. Veneered foam wing and GFRP fuselage, working rudder
with closed loop. Probably around 60" span - certainly bigger
than a Zagi.
