[FONT=arial, helvetica neue, helvetica, sans-serif"]We are returning to the airbase this time for a photo presentation evening. This has kindly been organised by R22 member Ben Satterthwaite and we have exclusive access to the airbase once again. It has proved to be a popular for the first base visit and this will be on a first come, first served basis. A reserve list will be created.

[FONT=arial, helvetica neue, helvetica, sans-serif"]This will replace November's monthly meeting that would normally be at Sally's Café Warwick Bridge. For those wanting to go in convoy to the venue we will be meeting at Sally's at 6.30pm leaving promptly for the drive to the base on the A69.

[FONT=arial, helvetica neue, helvetica, sans-serif"]RAF Spadeadam (Gilsland, Brampton CA8 7AT) is a Royal Air Force station in Cumbria, England, close to the border with Northumberland. It is the home of the 9,000 acre electronic warfare tactics range, making it the largest RAF base in the United Kingdom. Its primary use is for EW training to the RAF and NATO allies.

Hi Mike
I think I am registered to attend on Tuesday evening with my friend Nigel Hore. It it simply a case of ensuring we are at the main entrance by 7.00 pm ? (We are coming from Newcastle so would be doubling up mileage if we came to Warwick Bridge)
