Cranfield Rally

DBIR Stn,

I would like to thank the Committee for the excellent rally they put on at Cranfield. The report the committee gave of their stewardship was every bit as good as the weather we had that week-end, and the old saying of the sun shining on the righteous could not have been more true. Most of the people I mot after the rally and during the event, agreed that it was ideally timed and situated, and would be acceptable for next Year's rallY.

There is one thing however that I would like to see continued after the party is over, and that is the friendly spirit of co-operation among the individual and group members.

The visits I make to other groups during my cross country flights are always most enjoyable but I rarely see anyone on our base airfleld.

Surely the purpose of a rally is that the Asscciation's members should get to know each other, and the friendships made during this, short period, strengthened during the following year, besides the swapping of ideas ?

Should anyone be sufficiently interested to take me up on this idea, perhaps we could use the services of this column to establish contact?

Milbs Hawk Trainer

Dsnn Sn, The M.P.M. Flying Group operate a Miles Hawk Trainer which we cruise at 110 m'p'h', at 1,800 r.p.m. and 2,000 ft., and have been most satisfled with the perfonnance and petrol consumption.

However, the British Civil Aircraft (Vol' 2) by A. J. Jackson, states that the cruising speed is 123 m.p.h., but it does not state the conditions necessary to obtain this cruise'

We would like to know through your column whether anybody can enlighten us on the correct cruising sPeed !
