Hi All,
?????????????? Advance apologies. At the time of writing this it looks as if i will be unable to atend tonights meeting at Da Hut.? This is due to the wrong type of rain falling in the Paddock Wood Area (mainly on a yellow double decker Bus).? This has made site entry very slow and sometimes not possible.? I have lost 1 days working time as the Bus was stuck in the mud, worse things happen at Sea! ? If conditions improve throughout the day I may make it. If not Sorry.

Subject: RSGB Centenary Planning
Date: 15 July 2012 09:23:02 GMT+01:00
Dear colleague,?
I hope you already know that 2013 is the Centenary year of the RSGB, for which a team has been formed nationally to steer plans to mark the occasion, and engage with regional clubs and members.?
I expect that more will come out in due course but I want to give you the broad theme and ideas that are currently being proposed. Feedback from your members would be appreciated, together with any other ideas that meet the following objectives for the Centenary.
- A celebration for our members - a time when we can have some fun.
- Use the Centenary to assist our promotion of amateur radio to the general public.
- Remind?our spectrum partners of what we contribute nationally and internationally.
Should you or your club members have ideas for marking the RSGB Centenary then I would like to hear of these, so that I can compile the ideas for forwarding up and see what ideas might be shared between our clubs and members,?or alternatively you could send?them directly to Rob Harwood, G0HRT at; centenary@...? ?
Meanwhile a couple of ideas have been suggested and are being worked on nationally, which I hope we in Kent might develop locally and contribute to;
?
1. A regional special event station; over the year in 4 week periods, each region?to operate a special event station that has a theme to fit with a local event. i.e. Marconi day - Poldhu club.
?
2. Manage and operate the GB4FUN vehicle at local events; i.e. Kent County show etc. Their are logistical matters here that would need resolving, i.e.?requiring drivers and operators to meet the public as well as operate. Their is also the need for funding to get the vehicle into events and around.
?
The RSGB Centenary year can be an important theme for club events in the coming year, and with better weather, I am sure the occasion can be a time to raise the profile of amateur radio and the RSGB with the public more widely. Your ideas and participation as well as those of your members is critical in this matter, but together we can all have some fun in celebrating the RSGB Centenary.
?

Queens Diamond Celebration Flypast
Queens Diamond Celebration Flypast
One last look back at those amazing Jubilee celebrations . . . as seen by the 'Tail-end Charlie' in Britain's last airworthy Lancaster
T? These pictures are awesome.? Don’t know how they got circulating but I got them from Oz.
Incredible footage has been released showing the bird's eye view enjoyed by crew aboard a Lancaster bomber flying over London for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The aeroplane, which is part of the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), flew in formation with aircraft including a Spitfire, Hurricane and Dakota transport aircraft down The Mall, followed by the Red Arrows aerobatic team - to the delight of crowds and the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace below.
As well as preserving a fleet of priceless aircraft and keeping them in tip-top flying condition, the BBMF reminds the nation of the sacrifices made during World War Two.
Spectacular: The tail gunner's view from the Lancaster bomber, as it completed the Diamond Jubilee flypast. Buckingham Palace Gardens can be seen behind the tail of a Hurricane fighter, also of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, which flew in formation with the Lancaster
Final approach: The RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster lines up alongside the Thames with Charing Cross Station ahead of it in the final moments before it flies over the Mall
View from above: Hundreds of thousands of people crowd The Mall below the Lancaster bomber
Target in sight! The nose of the Lancaster passes over the Mall and towards Buckingham Palace during the climax of its flypast
Based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, many of its personnel, including pilots, are volunteers and the flight costs about ?3m a year to run.
Squadron Leader Ian Smith, who is in charge of the BBMF, is the only permanent member, with all of the remaining pilots, navigators, air engineers and other crew coming from different airbases and ordinarily flying several different types of aircraft; from Typhoon fighters to the huge Hercules transport plane.
Cramped: The footage shows just how tight a fit it can be aboard a vintage aircraft
?
Tight squeeze: Crew aboard the Lancaster bomber
The aircrew give up three out of every four weekends from May to the end of September in order to fly and display the historic aircraft.
The footage, released by the Ministry of Defence, shows just how tight a fit it can be aboard a vintage aircraft, with the crew - clearly eager to catch a glimpse of the Queen - taking up most of the available space.
The historic flight includes the Lancaster, which first saw service in 1942. The ‘Lanc’ was the most famous of the Second World War bombers and gained renown for its starring role in the momentous ‘Dambuster’ raid on Germany’s Ruhr Valley in 1943.
Carrying a payload of 22,000lb and with a 1,500-mile range, the RAF bomber wreaked havoc on Germany. Some 3,500 were lost in action during the war.

Hurricane single-seater fighters played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain. Heavier and slower than the Spitfire, it was considered the RAF’s ‘workhorse’ against the Luftwaffe.
A remarkable total of 14,533 Hurricanes were built and served operationally on every day and in every theatre during the war. Only 12 are still airworthy worldwide.
The Spitfire is the iconic fighter that won legendary status against the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain. It possessed a top speed of 378mph, an altitude of 35,000ft and armed with two 20mm cannons, four Browning machine guns and two 250lb bombs.
One of the four that flew yesterday was P7350 - the oldest airworthy Spitfire in the world and the only one which actually fought in the Battle of Britain. It was shot up by a Messerschmitt 109 during combat in October 1940 but its wounded Polish pilot Ludwik Martel managed to crash-land it, wheels up, near Hastings.
The pride of Britain: The vintage planes - all powered by classic World War Two Merlin engines - roar across the London sky

Flypast: The Duchess of Cornwall, the Prince of Wales, the Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry watch the aerial action
