You may have thought that Jude Wordsworth had produced a magnificent first edition at 124 pages, but be prepared to be amazed because this edition is truly epic at 185 pages. I’ve no idea how Jude does it, but I’m extremely grateful that she does. Well done Jude! By way of personal introduction, it has been my privilege to serve as RAeC General Secretary since the summer of 2009. My role for the RAeC is coupled with my full time position as CEO of the British Model Flying Association (BMFA) – which was the first Association to join the RAeC way back in 1922 and with around 36,000 members is the largest. In addition to the above, I also fulfill voluntary roles (like so many people within Air Sports do!) for Europe Air Sports (as Technical Officer for Unmanned Aircraft) and for the newly formed European Model Flying Union (as President). When I commenced work for the BMFA back in 2003, I never realised that it would provide opportunities to visit so many interesting places and meet so many interesting people. I consider myself very lucky! 1 Staying with the theme of interesting people, please make sure to read the profile of Alan Cassidy MBE which you can find on page 41. Also on the theme of interesting people, part of my role is to process the 50-60 nominations received each year and these provide a fascinating reminder of both the scale and breadth of activities which take place within the Associations under the RAeC umbrella. The RAeC Awards provide well deserved recognition not only for those involved in magnificent feats of aviation, but also for those who provide invaluable long term ground based support, administration or sponsorship. The RAeC Medals & Awards Committee met in January to decide on the Awards to be made for 2017 and full details can be found on page 32. This year, the difference in age between our youngest and oldest Award recipients is some seventy years. The Presentation Ceremony for the 2017 Awards will take place at the RAF Club, Piccadilly, London. The presenter is still to be confirmed, but for those wishing to attend a ticket application form is also included on page 182. With so much interesting content, I do hope that you enjoy this edition of the Newsletter. I don’t know how Jude can possibly top this one! Happy flying!

It was founded in 1901 by Frank Hedges Butler, his daughter Vera and the Hon Charles Rolls (one of the founders of Rolls-Royce) as the Aero Club of Great Britain. The Club was granted the title of “The Royal Aero Club" in 1910 and today is made up of full, associate and corporate member organisations as well as individual members. The Full Members are the national governing bodies of the major individual air sports in the UK and they each appoint a representative to the Governing Council; the Associate and Corporate Member Organisations and Individual Members provide valuable additional support. The original Club constitution declared that it was dedicated to 'the encouragement of aero auto-mobilism and ballooning as a sport’. Today the principal role is to co-ordinate, promote and protect all forms of recreational and competitive air sport in the UK and represent UK air sport internationally. The RAeC has a major role in setting technical standards, negotiating with international official bodies and, in consultation with our member organisations, appoint UK delegates to the various Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) Commissions.
