| 21st October 2009 | Strut Meeting - For the October meeting we had lined up a talk by Howard Cook on flying
for Vintage Wings of Canada... unfortunately Howard was involved in a
fairly nasty accident in Canada at the end of August while flying a
Tiger Moth.
He survived but with serious injuries : a broken back, broken right ankle, broken wrist, two broken ribs, facial lacerations, damage to his left heel, and a bruised lung. He underwent lengthy surgery and recovery in Hospital. Although he has recently returned to the UK to continue convalescence, it will probably be some while before he fully fit again. Further details: Flyer Forum Vintage Wings of Canada Although Howard is expected to make a full recovery, giving a talk to our strut is this month is not really on the top of his list!. Therefore Dave Trouse, who had arranged the talk, is sending Howard the Strut's best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hopefully we can arrange the talk again at a later date. To cover the gap in proceedings Tony Turner has volunteered to step in for the October meeting and give a talk with a loose engineering theme - 10 years of owning (and modifying) a Jodel. |
