100 years of atmospheric research flying

[Genghis the Engineer]

So far as I can tell, this week is the 100th anniversary of formally constituted atmospheric research flying in aeroplanes.

Much of it goes on nowadays of course, and the present British organisation, FAAM, seems to be continuing the tradition extremely competently. But it's interesting to see how it all started.

This is great to see, I am hoping to keep in touch with such topics. I know more people at Boscombe than Cranfield, though the latter may have a better chance for a short course.
