On that d.lsmal, wet day of the last A1r Yorkshlreneetlng (5th.lanuary 1992), J1m Thompson,s sllries of sunny Austr:alla Horkedwonders, but as a result of a conversatlon wlth one of the past secretarles ofthls Soclety, Jllrr S-i:a.:rfic1d, I was remlndod rather vlvldly of the flrst week 1nJune 1963, when thc rrcathcr uas exceptlonal, and Leeds-Bradford AlrporL (betterknown as Yeadon ln t)ror:e d;rys), managcd a very busy and Interestlp6 week, despltethe lack of a 1on6 nutuay at that tlme.

Sunday, 2nd June,was also warm and slumy, brtnging in Ra11ye Club G-ARXX frorn Blackpool and G-AOF1.jAuster Autocar, of iiuntlng Aerosurveys. However, trionday ]rd Jure, could not havebeen better weathe:rrise rrlth clear cloudless skles provldlng a sufflclent lncent-lve to abandon the usual wirc enclosure by the lower for the grass at the end of"I0" and a Iltt1e sunbathing. iSeagle Terrler G-ASAJ arrlved frorn Rearsby, closelyfoll.owed by CTAICLI, Ti6er i.ioth, fron and to Church Fenton for fue1, and Plper CoItC-ARJD.
