Military Civil Air Safety Day

A CONVOY of four aircraft flew in to the Military Civil Air Safety Day at RAF Linton-on-Ouse on 10 May. Twelve club members flew to the event in a Piper Saratoga, a Warrior, a Rockwell Commander and a Jet Provost.

Helen Rayson, who runs the club told LOOP, "We had great weather on the day allowing for very pleasant flying there and back with some great views of the Pennines, North York Moors and Lake District."

Speakers gave presentations about both RAF and safety related matters followed by lunch in the Officers Mess.

"The flights to and from Linton were used as an opportunity for some of the student pilots to undertake some navigation practice," Helen explained.

"Flying in the busier airspace around Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley airports as well as the military airfields was great practice for everyone."
