This issue is dedicated to the memory of Flight Lieutenant John Egging, RAF: “Red 4”, who died in a Red Arrows crash after the Bournemouth Air Display on 20th August.
“Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunwards I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of, high in the sunlit silence”
(from High Flight, by John Gillespie McGee)
An article by John Stafford has been held over to the next issue because of lack of space.l
