Members should treat this as an initial call for papers and Roger
Blackburn will be pursuing you over the coming months for papers
covering the inset topics.
Recent Visit
The long awaited visit to the EW Test Facility at
BAE Systems, Warton, took place on 10 May. Surprisingly, in view of the
clamour that had taken place to organise such a visit, we were
undersubscribed. This can be partially explained by our failure to
distribute the "snail mail" version of the April newsletter but was
compounded by 5 last minute cancellations.
However, Colin Hinds and Keith Lawton treated the
13 attendees to an excellent set of Typhoon briefings and it was great
to see the all-electric wonder jet under test in the EWTF.
Many of you will be aware of the adverse press
that the Typhoon programme periodically receives but one thing that
sticks in Roger Blackburn's mind from the briefing was "just look at the
smile on the faces of the pilots after a Typhoon flight". Following his
recent involvement in the flight trials programme, he can vouch for that
sentiment.
One final word on the day - Colin, don't invite
us to the next lightning strike test!
