After a short break in normal proceedings (Group Leader in PGH for maintenance and repairs), the Group will be up and running again shortly.
Our Autumn session will commence on Tuesday, 7thOctober 2025 (13.30 to 15.30) in Wrenthorpe Methodist Church Hall, Wrenthorpe Road, WF2 0JR, when we will be concluding our talks on Close Air Support (and the RAF links with the local Duke of Wellingtons Regiment in WW2).

Our Spring sessions commence on the 14th April 2026 (same time, same place) when we hope to be looking at The Race for Speed in the Air - speed of sound, sonicbooms and all that. New members welcome - please contact our Group Leader, Keith Griffiths, at kandm95@gmail.com
He does have a phone but he lives in the wilds of North Wales where broadband and mobile phone signals are still just dreams.
