Flip Book proposal -  3 Volumes?


We are reasonably placed to present a history over the first 50 years ie the Flight Cadet era. After that records are sparse or non-existent. We have good coverage of Journals from 1951-1980 and these are being scanned (a slow process). The College holds journals from 1920 with only a few omissions.

Everything is up for discussion how many volumes, titles,  the contents, our intended audience etc

What we have at present
