Apologies if this is not the most appropriate place to ask this question.
However, I ask on behalf of an 80 year old who attended the 50th Anniversary at Boscombe in '93.
Is anything planned for 2003 ?

If so, he will make the long journey, if still able, to hopefully meet a few remaining friends.

My I suggest you or your friend try the ETPS Association website at www.etpsassociation.org.uk for starters. If your friend is already a member, he'll know the following, but I'll continue for others who may be interested.
It seems that QinetiQ (MoD[PE]/DERA transmogrified) has not yet come up with any official plan to celebrate the ETPS 60th, but the Association is looking into it.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks Idle Stop. I have e-mailed the Secretary.
It is actually for my father who was flying up until he was 78 - two yrs ago! (The Test Flying ended a few yrs before although he may beg to differ!!)
