With 2020 now behind us, we look forward positively to 2021 and a few more aircraft, hopefully, along with the opportunity at some point to be able to visit some foreign shores and hopefully resume our hobby amongst what is left of the aviation industry. Ironically as I type this the Supreme Court has ruled that Heathrow’s third runway is legal and can go ahead, but with the major retraction of passengers flying and the Government’s stance on the requirement to isolate when entering the country from abroad, it has to be seen whether the investment cost will outweigh the long-term benefit. This will be our first copy to be printed and mailed by Blueprint Printing Services, so please be patient should there be a few teething problems (we trust there are none) as we ensure we get what they need, and they establish exactly what we require. We look forward to a long and successful association with them and this is the starting point. Here’s to a healthy and prosperous 2021. Archive Section The archive section/nostalgia spot has gone down well with the majority of readers; however, I need some more contributions to keep it going. There are only a handful of photographers that have submitted items thus far, and I am sure there are loads more photographs from 1960 through to 2005 out there, so go on have a delve, see what you have and send them in for publication, let’s air those items that haven’t been seen yet. Photographs We are suffering from our usual dearth of photographs at this time of the year. I can publish more Ar- chive shots (if I get them) but want to balance the magazine between these and current items. So, if you have some shots, however mundane, please get them off to Jim (details on JA3) and stop the magazine being primarily text. AGM We sincerely hope we are in a position (vaccine roll out allowing) to hold a face to face AGM in 2021, however it may be likely that this will be in the latter part of the year, so The Committee must exercise the “extraordinary circumstances” provision to push this back from our required April/May target date. We did run an AGM on Zoom during 2020, however only 2 members outside of the Committee felt it was time well spent. If you feel that an AGM meeting via Zoom held around April/May would be something you would like to see, please come back to the Editor (details on JA3) and let me know. The Committee can then decide, based on the number of respondents, whether this would be a worthwhile exercise. Review I didn’t do a review of 2020 in December’s issue because it seemed there was little to highlight, however although there was much less to write about over the year, the quality was very much in evidence, so here goes; Loganair introduced their fine-looking ATRs to regular service, primarily out of Inverness, Aberdeen & Dundee in the early part of the year, then…JAN - 4 x USAF KC135s & 6 C-17s and 5N-FGT Nigerian Govt B737 at Prestwick.
