1980 autumn meeting

20th-21st September 1980, Teeside

Fine weather on the Friday allowed members to fly in, including a Belgian for the first time: Gynaecologist Dr Notelas and his surgeon son flew OO-GLO direct from Genk and he was awarded the Guinness Cup. Saturday's tour of the York moors took place in dense IMC! This cleared miraculously after lunch on Sunday, allowing flights home. The Sydney Agnew Cup for a photographic competition for aviation subjects was inaugurated. It later became known as the President's Cup.
