Yes - to celebrate the Montgolfier Brothers and the first manned free flight in a hot air balloon by Pilâtre de Roziere and marquis d’Arlandes on November 21st., 1783, some 240 years ago in France, we’re eating Italian!
We are pleased to confirm that our guest speaker is Neil Airey.
Many of you will have seen his collection of aircraft in his back garden in the Lake District. Neil will be telling the story of how he installed his squadron of aircraft at "Lakes Lightnings".

We would love to see as many of our past members and guests come along and join us in this celebration.
