Jeff Lawton's talk on The Sally B took us on a tour of Britain in this
iconic plane dating from 1945 which he had helped to rebuild. After the
War she had been involved in Coastal Command and map making amongst other
things. Now she flies regularly at air shows frequently alongside the Red
Arrows who we were told are called the Scarlet Tarts amongst the
cognoscenti! Her top speed is 287 mph and she consumes 180 gallons of fuel
per hour.
Concerns were expressed about a recent village burglary and its possible
link to air ambulance charity bags being delivered. There was no
collection date on the bags.
Our next meeting is on Wednesday
15th November at Sandon Village Hall at 8pm when Jean Handley
will speak on My Research into Coincidences of WW1. Cost is £4 for the
evening or £10 for annual membership. Tea or coffee and home made nibbles
will be provided or BYO.
