Welcome
to SHHAS

We
are a small
group of aviation enthusiasts located in the Southampton area. We hold
our meetings on the first Wednesday of the month at the Romsey Working
Men's Conservative Club. Our society
was founded in 1980 by Wing
Cmdr. David Bennett AFRAES. and Leslie
Loader. It is open to
anyone
with an interest in
aviation and
although the name
states “Historical” we try to cater for all aspects of
aviation.
Our activities are mainly concerned with having guest
speakers at our monthly meetings taking on any aspects of aviation.
We visit RAF stations, air shows & museums etc that have an
aviation theme. We also have a few social functions throughout the year
including our own fly-in.

Meetings take place on the first

BOOK REVIEW
|
|
An Aviation Fictional
Trilogy
Author:
Roger Pullen
The
first book
“Cornucopia” spans the mid thirties period leading up to the second
world war
and includes the Short S23 C-class flying boat, a De Havilland Gypsy
Moth and
the ubiquitous DC-3. All include
detailed actions within the cockpit which accurately detail the flying
characteristics, good and bad of each type. It
is this first series of adventures set in
the Far East around Singapore
and Sumatra that binds a motley group of people
together to form
the basis of all three books of the Trilogy.
