Kingston Aviation Memorial

 In the last Newsletter Les Palmer, who is in charge of fund raising, asked for volunteers to help him with planning and development of a data base of potential donors.
He needs people willing to devote only a few hours occasionally now, but perhaps each week later, to contribute ideas and, eventually, to help with the dispatching of appeal documents. He expects to start in the summer, this year. Here is an opportunity to make a valuable contribution to a project that will ensure that no-one who visits Kingston can remain unaware of the illustrious record of the 'Hawker' companies.
His request fell on deaf ears. Surely there must be one or two Members who feel that the memorial is a good idea and can spare a little time to help Les raise the funding?
OBE For Simon Hargreaves

 Dunsfold and Warton test pilot Simon Hargreaves has been awarded the OBE for his contribution to flight testing in the United Kingdom.
Simon was the lead STOVL test pilot on the Lockheed-Martin Joint Strike Fighter X-35 demonstrator as part of the BAES team working on the project in California. He is now Deputy Chief Test Pilot on the Harrier and Tornado programmes. As a Commander in the Royal Navy Reserve he flies the Sea Harrier FA2.
