Aircrew are invited
As you can imagine, most of our members were former Second World War aircrew who are now passing on to a less mechanical form of aviation, leaving fewer and fewer members to keep things going.
Things have now become so difficult that the nationwide Aircrew Association has ceased to exist.

Hide AdAs a result, individual branches have closed in some cases, amalgamated in others, or decided to keep going in an individual manner as long as possible.
We have therefore become the West Sussex Aircrew Association and I am writing to give our details and to invite any former or serving military and civil aircrew (military experience is no longer required for membership) who do not yet belong to us, to join us, to keep the organisation going a bit longer.
Our members come from the Worthing, Littlehampton, Bognor and Chichester areas.
We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at noon for 12.15pm, for a small meeting to deal with any business that has arisen, but mainly to have a drink and lunch, followed by an interesting talk.
The venue is the Arun Yacht Club at Littlehampton.

This year we went to Veterans Day at the RAF Museum, Hendon, and to RAF Odiham.
