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'.
