LINCOLN AERO CLUB
50TH ANNIVERSARY DINNER


THE final event to mark the 50th anniversary of the Lincoln Aero Club was a dinner at the former home of the club, RAF Hemswell.

Club chairman, Alan D Wood said, "Following the success of the club's event this year - and thanks to LOOP for publicising this - it was anticipated that the 50th dinner would be well attended, and it was. The dining room was completely full with past and present club members and their partners.

"The dining room was buzzing with conversation and laughter which increased as the evening progressed, especially the laughter when the guest speaker, Brian Newbold, from Breighton, entered into his funny anecdotes of life and his aviation experiences!"

The annual presentation of club competition trophies was made by LAC President John Fearne, who introduced a new trophy for the 50th anniversary, one awarded to the best club member contribution to the year's activity. Roger Kuhnel from the Robin Hood Airport at Doncaster also said a few words.

"This reunion of past members reminded us of the importance of GA in commercial aviation. The young pilots who trained with the LAC in previous years attended the 50th anniversary with thousands of hours to their credit as airline captains and instructors," said Alan.

"Needless to say it went on into the early hours and still there was not enough time to meet with everyone. It looks like the event will need to be repeated but it cannot wait another 25 years to happen!"
