LOOP News Alec Trevett and Alan Cassidy 11 JUL 07: HIGHLY INSTRUCTIVETHE British Aerobatic Association (BAeA) ran a highly informative inaugural Aerobatic Training Seminar for instructors at Wellesbourne Mountford in conjunction with On-Track Aviation, based at the airfield. LOOP contributor Alan Cassidy presented a wealth of information to the assembled group of a dozen or so QFIs. The aim was to pass on expertise in the most sensible ways to guide aerobatic students in their early training. It also provided the assembled parties with a first foray into the art of flying precise aeros in front of the judges. On-Track put on a tremendous effort to make this a valuable and thoroughly enjoyable experience, and the BAeA will look forward to seeing the results of this highly targeted exercise. On the Saturday, the BAeA ran its first ever event at Wellesbourne Mountford, for Beginners and Advanced classes. First-timer Alec Trevett and his Chipmunk j-u-s-t held off Robin 2160 pilot Rob Deeth for the Beginners plaque. In the Advanced class, Alan Cassidy continued his unbeaten run of 2007 successes with a fine 73% to hold Gary Ferriman at bay, with Julian Murfitt a clear third.
