NEW AQUISITIONS RCAF Flyers Highly collectible sports memorabilia was donated to the museum by Mrs Phyllis Gravelle of Trenton. She is the widow of famous hockey player Orval Gravelle (1927–1997), who was once a member of the RCAF Flyers Olympic Hockey team. Th e collection was donated in two parts, the fi rst probably in 1997 and the second in December 2010. Mrs Gravelle informed us that her husband donated the RCAF Flyers hockey jersey and the Olympic Gold Medal shortly before he died. As museum paperwork was scarce in the 1990s, we can only conclude this must have happened in 1997. Th e majority of this memorabilia has been on display ever since. All items in the collection belonged to Orval Gravelle. As a member of the RCAF Flyers team, he won gold at the Winter Senior RCAF Officer admires the golden medal won Olympic Games—St Moritz, 1948.

  • BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton
    BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton The main news for this issue is Scale Helicopters will be joining BMFA Scale from the R/C Power Technical Committee with effect from the 2014 season. The 2014 Rule Book will incorporate the Helicopter Scale Rules and we will be co-opting a Scale Helicopter flyer onto the Scale Technical Committee. I didn’t get the chance to see them at this year’s Nationals, but I’m looking forward to witnessing their models next year. I’m sure you’ll join me in giving them a warm welcome into our group. For Scale Indoor Flyers, please note that the next Scale Indoor Nationals will be my last as organiser. We need a successor, please contact me for more information. I was asked by more than one modeller if static judging could be brought into the flying only schedule for Scale Indoor Free Flight and RC so that more complex models with less than ideal flying characteristics would not be disadvantaged. The very reason that flying only was introduced was to give the less complex models a chance in Scale competition. It also allows models with less than complete documentation to be constructed and demonstrated in competition. The best place to compete complex models is the Nationals, Flying Only is for flying models and there is no mark given for complexity. There will be a number of rule changes for 2014 in the January 2014 issue of the BMFA Scale Rule Book. See later in this Newsletter for a summary Results: to save space, result tables for those competitions that have their results promulgated on the Scale BMFA website have not been included in the Newsletter.

Magazine of the Women In Aviation, The 2nd Conference ‘y-g ljO jP II-e International Organization of Maureen Ramsay, Another Dynamic 99 Women Pilots, Dorothy Gillis and Warbird Women The Ninety-Nines Inc. Your Candidates for International Director > May 1991 j GENERAL COUNSEL________ by Sylvia L. Paoli Minutes are the record of all the proceedings of a deliberative assembly. Their purpose is to show a record of what was DONE at the meeting, not what was SAID by the members. They should never reflect the secretary’s opinion, favorable or otherwise, on anything said or done. One of the most important require­ ments to accomplish this is the ability to distinguish fact from fiction— a skill incredibly lacking in most of us. We have little trouble telling natural color from a dye job, or real fur from imitation, or a “genuine” person from a “plastic” one, but when it comes to words, we fall dramatically short. An example are these two sentences: “A. Susie Smith reported on the survey taken to determine the feasibility of building a new City Hall. 75% approved, 25% disapproved. Proposed architects are Jones & Brown, and the construction firm is Brown & Jones.” “B. Susie Smith, the leading proponent of building a new City Hall, asserted that 75% of the constituency agreed with the need, desirability, and design of the proposed new City Hall and the outstanding qualifications of Jones & Brown, architects, and their related construction firm of Brown & Jones, with the minority citing only its wish not to spend any more money as the reason for its opposition.” Sentence “A” reflects a factual statement appropriate for minutes.
