Two Good Years at Kingston
RAF Club Camm Memorial
 
    Members will recall that the Association funded a bronze bust of Sir Sydney and an information panel on his career to complement an existing similar memorial to Reginald Mitchell. The display has now been completed by the purchase of an acrylic painting of a Hurricane Mk II by Robert Calow, Associate of the Guild of Aviation Artists, to hang over the bust to balance a Spitfire print above Mitchell. It is expected that the picture will be in place when the Association visits the RAF Club in October.
Summer Barbecue

    Once again an enjoyable time was had by Members who came to the barbecue on 11 June. This time it was indoors - no, not because of the weather but because a commercial for Flora margerine with Gloria Hunniford was being shot outside!
    Thanks to Ken Batstone and Jan White for arranging the event which included a lively  auction with Percy Collino wielding the hammer.
