BMFA Achievement Scheme "B" certificate.

Saturday 21st Our chairman CB gave a talk, instructions and demonstration on the maneuvers needed to pass the 'B'' test. The weather was (inclement is one one word) but we got through it. My Acromaster had a bad air day, my fault I should have moved the C of G forward and turned the elevator movement down
