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.



Subscription is just £12 a year which includes a regular newsletter. If you are interested in joining our society please download and print the membership application form.  We look forward to meeting you.

Meetings take place on the first \Wednesday of the month at 7.30 for 8.00pm start.

BOOK REVIEW
An Aviation Fictional Trilogy
Author: Roger Pullen
Click to enlarge
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.
