Light Aeroplane Club Of Trinidad & Tobago

I'm interested to know if the LAC in Trinidad is still going. Can anyone tell me? I've looked on Google but can't find a website or anything.

My father is still a life member but at 85 he has long since given up flying - he was on the Air Training Scheme in Trinidad in 1940 and after 6 years in the RAF during WWII he returned to Trinidad. After the war he was a QFI with the club and countinued to fly with the club until 1979 when we as a family left Trinidad to live in the UK.

I have in my first log book entries of having flown various Cessnas belonging to the Club and have fond memories of local flights around the island with trips to Crown Point in Tobago. It would be a real shame if the LAC is no more. I can also remember various older aircraft such as Auster Autocrats/Autocars, an old Percival Proctor and suspended on the hangar walls the wings and tail feathers of a dismantled Tiger Moth. It would be interesting to know their fates.....

If my scanner was working I could also post some old photos....
