'Virtual' Strut Meeting - Building a Menestral by Tony Razzell
The Strut Meeting for May was to have been a GASCo Safety evening, but because of obviously reasons this has had to be cancelled, although hopefully this will be rescheduled for later this year or early next year.
So now in its place on the same day and time, we will be trying something a little different and new. Using ZOOM Video Conferencing, Tony Razzell, Coordinator of the East Midlands Strut, will be giving us a presentation on Building his Nicollier NH700 Menestrel.
Photos taken at the Strut meeting of 17th July 2019 during visit to Waits Farm to see the Isaacs Spitfire being built by Richard Teverson have now been uploaded to the Strut Website
