Our Youngest Marshals
at the "Wings and Wheels"
event....
We were ready for a relaxing weekend as
we arrived at the Henham Estate on the
Friday afternoon. It was another fine,
warm spring day and we were thrilled to
be looked after by two of the youngest
rally marshals in the team. Charlie and
Harry Goddard had been helping their
mum, dad, grandma and grandad all
afternoon. Even making good use of the
equipment to ensure all the caravans
were sited correctly.
A lovely quiet Saturday was followed by an exciting and busy Sunday
looking round dozens of stalls, classic
cars and commercial vehicles and seeing
a good number of planes coming and going
with a good overhead display too. We had
a fantastic burger and chips from the
food area and wandered around watching a
strongman and high wire act, however
Trev's favourite was the Honda Goldwing
display (no you can't have one !)
We heard that some of the aircraft
couldn't make it to Hehnam but the
display was still well worth it.
Thanks to the Halesworth Lions for
allowing our Centre to participate, to
the landowner for permission to camp in
this beautiful natural environment and
most of all.... many thanks to our
marshals Charlie & Harry, Colin & Jan, Alan & Sue
and
Nick & Carole and their all their helpers.

Jan
and Colin would like to thank all members
who supported the Wings and Wheels weekend.
Unfortunately, although we had amazing
weather, the Lions organisers had no control
over the weather in other parts of the
country. Consequently many of the aircraft
that were booked were unable to take off
from their local airports. Those who did
come were all from East Anglia.
Two display flights that had been booked
were unable to attend:- the pilot of one of
the Red Hawks had broken a leg on Friday and
the Yak 52 had blown a piston (the
organisers had no control over either of
these events).
To compensate, the Mustang came at
twenty-four hours notice as did the Twister
Duo who came direct from an air display at
Abingdon without having landed between
displays. the Twister Duo were a fantastic
finale in our opinion.
