NEC Flying Show
P & M Aviation launch the PulsR in front of crowds at the NEC
Great show at NEC this year, the big surprise the P and M PulsR announcement. This amazing looking machine is likely to be in production next Spring but one of the first to fly it will be Kemble Flying Clubs very own CFI David Young who is a factory B Conditions test pilot and he will be making an exclusive report for Flyer magazine.
Battle of Britain Weekend
Another great Kemble weekend is in store with the forthcoming Battle of Britain event on Saturday 17th September and Sunday 18th September. Members of Kemble Flying Club will be on duty all weekend to show visitors around and answer any questions about microlight aircraft and learning to fly. Don’t forget this is a ticket only event and time is running out!
As usual flying can carry on with the exception of the airshow time and that means being back on the ground here by noon. Flying can start again at 16:30.
Details are on www.battleofbritainairshow.com
Last but not least please don’t forget the Club bring your own bbq from 18:00 on the Saturday which as well as a Club get together is also to celebrate the launch of the new website and the web developer himself will be here to answer any questions! The weather is looking a bit mixed but fingers crossed. Non Members are more than welcome.
