My wife and I were part of a group visit at 6pm on the 16th May. The visit was organised on behalf of Northants WEA and our expectation was for a tour of the airport facilities and the aviation museum. Only the latter took place was disappointing on two counts. We convened immediately outside the museum building and were addressed there for 15 minutes on a cold, windy evening. We entered the building – a nissen hut – where Ben continued to address the group. There were at least 30 of us and we felt cramped. Most were unable to hear what Ben was saying as we were strung-out along the full length of the museum building. When he finished talking we had all of ten minutes ‘free’ time to examine the many exhibits. We had made a 56 mile round trip to attend this event and frankly felt it was a wasted opportunity and a wasted evening.

I’m not sure if the Chairman is the Rick Watts I knew from East Cowes. He went on to join the RAF. We were best friends at Carisbrooke Grammar School and I lived near him in East Cowes. I would very much to make contact with him again and with Debra Otten Banks if she has any contact info Many thanks for any assistance you can offer Regards and thanks Rob Harwood

Is the Rick Watts associated with your museum, the Rick Watts from East Cowes Isle of Wight? I am trying to locate that Richard Watts and would be grateful if you would let me know and pass this on to him if it is! Thanx, Debi Banks
