Northampton MAC have kindly invited NVA members to attend their warbirds meeting inc. BBQ on Saturday 8th June. Food and cooking will be provided, but bring your own drink and of course, a warbird if you have one. (NN10 0SU will get you close)

****

Please note that your new (very long) CAA opertor number must be displayed on all models but the CAA has confirmed that this new number will NOT be changed every year. The CAA regrets that this number is so long but it is regulated by an EU directive that the UK (DoT) agreed adopt since the UK formally left the EU. (if it is any consolation, the guy from the CAA also thinks the length of the number is daft)

****

- By now all members should have received their CAA operator ID number. No model should take to the air without this number on the aircraft is accordance with the CAA's requirements. These can be found here
