HAA Symposium - Nov 15 - New Speaker - Vulcan aerobatics?

Apologies for the blatant plug for which I apologise, but we have a new speaker for the HAA Symposium at Brooklands which I know many forumites won't want to miss!

Joining the event on Saturday November 15th is former Avro Chief Test Pilot, Tony Blackman. He's promised to 'spill the beans' on test flying the Vulcan and some of the 'unusual attitudes' activities.

If you want to hear from the man himself, log onto www.haa-uk.aero for more information.

Other speakers include:

John Forbat on Dr Barnes Wallis and the Wellington;

Eric Verdon Roe, the grandson of British aviation pioneer A. V. Roe, will talk about the race for Britain’s first powered flight, one hundred years ago;

Captain Chris Orlebar one of the first BOAC pilots to be selected to fly Concorde is to chat on the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the early days of Concorde service and will give a new insight into the Brooklands’ prize exhibit.

Weather permitting there is to be a live demonstration of the 1908 Roe biplane replica during the lunch break too!
