Re: Wed 10th April

Anyone any idea if the "Prestwick Airport" Zello channel is still in action?

Re: Aviation on Anglesey Archive

Any news on what is happening with the aviation society, seeing that even some committee members are asking?

Especially as it is still collecting the £12 membership, and no feed back for those who have paid.

Like I say, it may not be appropriare to use cannon/missile, as they could be in an unsafe area to engage with weapons. So then what :-)
