International Powered Lift Conference 2010
Mike
Pryce writes that the IPLC will feature the Harrier in 2010, the P.1127
50th anniversary year. He is looking for contributions to two papers
which he will compile: ‘50 years of the Harrier; what has it taught
us?’ - a paper presenting the views of designers, pilots etc. plus all
the anecdotes Mike has collected over the years, and 'What have
we learned from trying to replace the Harrier?' - a review of the
positive and negative lessons learned from the many V/STOL projects
between P.1127 and JSF.
To think about
contributing to this important event please contact Mike on 0161 306

Camm Windsor Memorial
Planning consent had been granted to the Sir Sydney Camm
Commemorative Society for a full size model Hurricane to be installed
in Alexandra Gardens, Windsor, Camm’s birthplace.
The
aircraft will be mounted on a plinth and enclosed in a small memorial
garden with a plaque of remembrance. The Commemorative Society has
recruited Artique Gallery Publishing who specialise in raising money
for charity projects. The Gallery is producing a range of Camm
associated pictures and cards, using Charles Brown photographs, which
will be sold throughout the UK to help raise funds for the Memorial.
By calling the Eton campaign office on 01753 865253 or 857375 you
can request the Artique catalogue of fund-raising items, and also
donate by credit card to help raise the £60,000 needed to fund the
memorial. Please support this initiative.
