Young Member's Visit to the RAF Museum
If you missed out on the last visit here is another opportunity to have a free day out at the RAF Museum, Hendon on Saturday, 17 May 2008.

Flight Lieutenant Lucie Purvis arranged the visit but unfortunately she has to be away that day and so Lewis Haldenby has agreed to be there and to coordinate the arrangements.

The visit will start at 11.40 and includes a 1hr30min Hercules simulator mission with a prize for the winning team of 4, ‘Our Finest Hour’ sound and light show and plenty of time to see all the other exhibits at the museum.

We have 24 places in the simulator so please book early to avoid disappointment. Your friends or parents can accompany you to the museum as well - entry is free for them too but they will not be able to take part in the mission.

Car parking and admission is free. Directions can be found on the RAF Museum website: http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk and the postcode for those using satnav is NW9 5LL. There is a restaurant!

If you plan to attend please email your name, membership number and contact number to events@airleague.co.uk.
