SUGGESTED AVIATION LINKS
Although my web-pages have no official connection with AIR-BRITAIN (which I joined in 1956 !), I unreservedly recommend a link to their website http://www.air-britain.com
I learned much from my AIR-BRITAIN colleagues in those early days and I hope that, by way of the Fly-In and the various articles, editorial tasks and monographs over the 50+ years, I have put a little back into the organisation, which itself celebrated no less than 60 YEARS of enthusiastic operation in 2008.
On the AIR-BRITAIN pages you will also find more details of the annual Fly-In!

Abe has long-since "retired" from leading the annual Fly-In team, although he will still be offering encouragement from the sidelines to the new team If YOU would like to help on the day (or, even better, in the advance planning and organisation) please contact the team co-ordinator as follows:
Phil Kemp, 32 Mountbatten Road, BRAINTREE, Essex CM7 9EZ
Keep an eye on the Air-Britain website for further details.
If you liked Fly-Ins with the emphasis on Vintage/Classic aircraft attending, the
GREAT BRITISH VINTAGE FLYING WEEKEND
was normally a ”must attend” category. Sadly, the event was cancelled for 2008 but was resurrected under new management at Kemble for 9-10 May 2009 and, hopefully, will return in future years. Go to www.gvfwe.co.uk for details
We thank our (and particularly my) old friend and A-B supporter, Peter Campbell (a member since 1953) for all previous events. Peter has now retired from G-VFWE organisation, his Book publishing ventures (see Midland Counties Publications for any remaining titles from the Cirrus Associates range) and his musical entertainment activities
For regularly updated details of Aviation Events, you can do no better than have a look at the lists compiled by Dave Wise and maintained on the Royal Aero Club site at http://www.royalaeroclub.org
For general Aviation Links, we can also recommend Howard Curtis and his website of "over fifteen thousand listed in more than seventy pages!!" . Try his 'AirNet' Web Site at

With this Bookmarked you will not need to keep separate ones !
