NEWSFLASH

The HARS F111

John Cleary tells us that the HARS F111 will be unveiled on Friday week. He says:
"On Friday the 26th April at 11am we are having a formal unveiling. On behalf of the Project Leader Tony Abela you are all invited with guests to be present. There will be some formal speeches and with the doors now clad it will be a special event for HARS and Australia."
The message is signed by Bob De La Hunty (HARS President) and Tony Abela (F111 Project Leader). Thanks for the tip-off, John.

Illawarra Coal

In 2015 Illawarra Coal will re-commence long wall mining at a location starting to the west of us (about half way to the Georges River) and continue for 2.8kms to the north (directly under Clayton Harland's house) with no new openings to the surface. The mine will be 500 metres underground and 300 metres wide, with about 3 metres depth of coal to be taken. This will result in some subsidence directly above the cut, and will most likely leave our airfield completely unaffected, as the nearest point to us is about 300 metres away. Any subsidence damage incurred will be repaired by the Mine Subsidence Board, as happened to our runway about 13 years ago.
Please refer to the attachment to this Newsflash for the location of the intended work.

Become a member of the NSW Sports Aircraft Club Inc. and enjoy the general experience of belonging to a club dedicated to the private ownership of aircraft and to the comradeship of the aviation fraternity. Wedderburn was founded as an inexpensive venue for members to fly, house their aircraft and fraternize with aviation minded people. And it continues to adhere to those principals today. So ideally it is the Flying Club there for your pleasure---- not simply a place to park your aircraft. Joining information can be found here.
