ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP
We are almost ready to publish the newsletter-but we realise that one or two of you may not receive it! This is due solely to the fact that you may not have paid your 2009 subscription! So please, get in touch with our Treasurer and ensure that your subs ARE paid. No subs-no re union!
The aircraft journey book for the CL44-J is still under offer from one of our members-it has until this weekend to attract further bids-if not-its on its way to the lucky lad in Ireland!!!!!!
The Parts Manual/Heavylift Ops manuals are still here-a non-member has bid for them but needs to collect them asap.
Cheers all
