Friends of The Helicopter Museum

The Friends Bulletin is getting back on Track !

Publication of Issue No.27, originally intended for October 2007, has now happened, so that all members should receive their copies before the end of July 2008.

It will take two or three months to make up the lost time but Fred Tooke hopes to get the next issue (No.28) out to members during the summer months of 2008 followed by a return to the regular, quarterly, publishing schedule as soon as possible. 
 
Unfortunately our previous editor, Adrian Brimson, has had to deal with serious illness in his family and, in May 2008, started to hand Bulletin production over to Fred Tooke, who successfully edited the newsletter from its launch, in August 1997, until Harold Spicer took over in 2003. Harold continued until January 2007. Again, we apologise for the delays and disruption while wishing Adrian and family well for the future and thanking him for his work on previous issues.

As usual, initial queries should be directed to Dave Wallace (Friends Chairman) on 01934-823312 but Fred Tooke (01934-416798) will welcome offers of articles and photos for future publication..

We know that many members rely entirely on the Bulletin for news of the Friends and of The Museum itself, and that receiving it is a major incentive to remaining a Member.

We aim to despatch Bulletins on the 1st day of January, April, July and October, each year.

In earlier Bulletins, members were able to read about :--

* News of current and completed restoration and preservation projects carried out by Volunteers at the Museum, including the Wasp (XT443), the two Belvederes (XG452 & XG462) and the Whirlwind (XD163).
