Flying Historic Aircraft
I see that Andy Sephton, Chief Pilot of the Shuttleworth Collection and regular PPRuNe contributor, is giving a lecture on Flying Historic Aircraft at the Royal Aeronautical Society.
Andy began his distinguished career in the elite University of London Air Squadron and served for twenty years in the Royal Air Force. He then joined Rolls-Royce as Chief Test Pilot and Head of Flying in 1989.
Equally at home flying vintage, transport or front-line fighter aircraft, Andy was a test pilot for experimental establishments at both Farnborough and Boscombe Down.

Tudor:
Shall be out of the country, which is a shame for I would enjoy hearing his talk. However you were previously able to get the transcript from Dave Southwoods talk. Any chance of trying for the same again?
Thanks, H

I'd love to come, but unfortunately there's no way I can get there from work by the 18:00 start time, it would need to be at least an hour later for me to stand a chance. Its a shame as there have been a few of these I'd have like to have attended

Thank you for making us aware of this, Tudor.
Unfortunately, I can't attend; but I'm sure that it will be a worthwhile event.
If possible, can you obtain his notes and post them here, after a decent time has passed? I recall that you did that last year following Dave Southwood's lecture, and it was certainly appreciated by those of us unable to travel to 4 Hamilton Place.
Thanks again.

well, as your mate Flatiron knows, MASUAS to be precise, but the S bit never did much other than provide a steady stream of aeroeng undergraduates.
But seriously, I will be there to hear Andy S, and am really looking forward to it.
