EVENTS DIARY

■On Friday, November 1, Penarth Aviation Society will be meeting in the Penarth Conservative Club at 7.45pm for 8pm. This month Ivor Griffiths will be giving the talk. He has had an extensive career as a helicopter pilot stretching over 40 years and has flown a great number of different machines and in many varied roles; potentially this would make him one of the world’s most experienced helicopter pilots. Ivor will be recalling some of his experiences in his illustrated talk. The society meets on the first Friday of the month at the Penarth Conservative Club.
