   Don Spiers's distinguished Ministry career included the positions of Controller Aircraft (CA) as well as Director General Aircraft (DGA), and Dick Wise will probably be best remembered as the Harrier Project Director before he was posted to the USA.
   Project Manager John Parker now has responsibility for BAES heritage activities, and David Hassard is Charles Plantin's son-in-law whose talk will cover the work at Kingston of this outstanding engineer.

   The visit to the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust Museum at Filton, Bristol, is limited to 20 attendees so please let Barry Pegram (01306 631125) know as soon as possible if you want to go. The visit starts at 10.30 am and finishes at 3.00 pm. Barry will send you details of how to find the museum and explain the security arrangements.
Unless stated otherwise, meetings are at the Hawker Centre, Kingston - the old Sports & Social Club - and start at 2.00 pm. Lunch and drinks are available beforehand, tea afterwards, and there is a large, free car park.
