This promises to be a fascinating evening, with a chance to enjoy dinner with the speakers after the presentation.

Time for this sticky to be removed perhaps?
Was it a good presentation?

It certainly was Nigel. Some good stories from some pretty amazing people.
Good to see Steve and Ed there as well. |

Yes, it was a fascinating evening covering the story of the B707 from inception to preservation (in the form of VH-XBA). Many thanks to the RAeS team for getting it all together on the precise day of the 50th anniversary.
It must be time for another preservation project out at Longreach . . . . . . Steve L www.leadenham.com |
