Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx.
Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always
welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: 'Friends of Leiston Airfield'
The 'Friends of Leiston Airfield' was formed in the summer of
1995 by Peter Saunders, Chris Betson and the late Peter Barker,
after a group of people with holiday caravans on the 'Cakes &
Ale Park', had become concerned that a small memorial erected on a
hardstand in an area hidden from view from the general public, had
become neglected and rubbish strewn. After several meetings it was
agreed the name of the association would be the 'Friends of
Leiston Airfield', and the Constitution states that the objects
are: 'To preserve and develop the history of Leiston Airfield,
Station 373, by forging and maintaining links with associations
representing former military personnel. Erecting a Memorial and
Information Point on Leiston Airfield in the vicinity of Harrow
Lane to all who served on the Airfield during it's operational
life, and in particular to those who lost their lives on active
service. To fund and maintain the Mustang replica sited on the
Cakes and Ale Caravan Park, and such other activities as shall from
time to time be approved by the Committee'.
