Thanks to Colin Murray's inspiration, several members of the LRS enjoyed attending an Institution of Engineering & Technology event at Napier University.

The lecture given by Dr Carol Marsh OBE provided an interesting insight into the current status of the Scottish Space Programme and was focused on satellite communication & phased antenna arrays.

Lots of networking was done and future collaboration is anticipated between the LRS, IET and MOC.

Following an LRS talk 2 years ago (click) by Bob Thompson of the APSS (Aircraft Preservation Society Scotland), Gerard Lohan gave us an update on their “late production” Sopwith 1½ Strutter, named "Sophie". Over the last 20 years they have built to the original drawings an (almost) exact replica of Sopwith's WW1 bi-plane, The Strutter.  The team want it to fly; when?    Click for Report.
