Title: Royal Aeronautical Society Lecture
Post by: ravells on February 26, 2004, 04:43:26 AM

I know that there are a few UK posters here who are not on the UKAH mailing list.

The Royal Aeronautical Society is holding a lecture at 6 pm on Thursday 18th March entitled: 'Flying Old Aeroplanes in the 21st Century. The Handling qualities of World War II fighters' to be delivered by Sqn Ldr David Southwood, a testpilot who has flown Spits, Hurris, 109s, Mustangs, Hellcats and Corsairs amongst other WW2 planes.

You can download more information here (http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/ah_258_1077791248.zip)

The Society is at Hamilton Place, which is on Park Lane (just opposite the main entrance to the four seasons hotel).

Is anyone interested in going? We could all have dinner and a drinky afterwards? If anyone is coming from out of town and needs a room for the night I can offer one.

I will see if he has a paper transcript of his speech, Wmaker and will post it up with his permission.

Wmaker (or anyone else for that matter), he will no doubt be taking questions at the end of the lecture, so if you have any, please email me at: ravells@hotmail.com and I will ask him for you.

Good idea Virage, I will ask the society and speaker if this is allowed.
