A Mad Dog says farewell
A super sendoff from the Mad Dog
You may not know me that well. But if you fly American Airlines a lot, chances are we've met. My name is Mad Dog. Okay, it's more of a nickname, really … short for McDonnell Douglas MD-80. My parents liked to say I was a Super 80. I couldn't agree more.Air-Britain is pleased to be a member of Aviation Heritage UK, formerly known as the British Aircraft Preservation Council.
Aviation Heritage UK represents the needs and aspirations of Britain’s unique aviation collections.
Regular Members’ meetings around the country enable discussion and networking, and the sharing of examples of best practice. A range of activities from safety training to skills education are held at Members’ own locations. Loans for projects are available, together with advice on funding opportunities.
Members of Aviation Heritage UK are inspiring the young of today to become the pilots, engineers and technicians of the future.

The next meeting of the Milton Keynes Aviation Society is a change from the originally planned event.
Jean Yates - The Met Office and D-Day
Central Forecasting Office moved to Dunstable in 1940 and remained there until 1961. Forecasters were secretly told at 0800hrs the bombing targets planned for the next 24hours.
They kept in contact with the aircraft until the last one had landed, constantly planning winds and rewriting their charts.
It was the Chief Met Officer’s job to persuade Eisenhower to postpone D-Day and make perhaps the most important forecast in history
All meetings are held in the Kents Hill Community Centre, Frithwood Crescent, Kents Hill, Milton Keynes, MK7 6HQ.
Doors open at 7.30 p.m. and lectures begin at 8.00 p.m.
