At our July Meeting we are inviting 1289 Sqdn of the ATC, of Stratford on Avon, to join us, this is a very special event, as we will be celebrating 75 years of the Air Training Corps existence. To mark the occasion we will be making a presentation to the Squadron of a reproduction of a painting by Sir Frank Wootton of a Bristol Blenheim, which has been signed by Air Marshall Sir Ivor Broom, a Past President of the RAFA, and Lord Rotheremere. Sir Ivor Broom’s family have given the reproduction. The reproduction was shown to us at the meeting in June and was an excellent example of Frank Wootton’s skill as a watercolour artist
What a shame that the Throckmorton Airshow was cancelled, and I understand its future is unsure. This event was such a boost to our funds, and will dent our income this year, but thanks, I am sure, to Keith’s efforts we shall continue to raise contributions well beyond the expectations any branch of a similar size.
