JUNE 21, 1928 Thomas, Lynas, Allinson, Byrnes, Keeling, Lysaght, Girdlestone, Hughes,Godfrey, Jellicoe, Button. We are looking forward to the arrival of our new slotted " Moth " nextweek, and with two club machines in use again we trust that there will be a large increase in flying hours. We hope that our chairman will be able toresume his cross-country nights which set so good an example to the other members of the club.
