StrathAVEN not StrathALLEN

SF182,

The August fly-in is at Strathaven - not Strathallan!

The Strathallen parachute centre fly-in is June 4th 2008.

For the southerners, Strath is from the Gaelic for valley. So Strathaven is "the valley of the River Avon" - although the airfield is on top of a hill, and the third highest in the UK I think.

Strathallen is on the River Allan - and the Allan Water Cafe in Bridge of Allen has fab fish and chips.

Unfortunately, Strathaven and Strathallen are about 50 miles away from each other!

Very best to all and a happy 2008,

XA
