Oxford University Gliding Club is proud to present

Richard Stratten.

From Giant Flying Boats to Rocket Planes.
Wednesday 25th January 7pm.
The Pusey Room, Keble College, Parks Road, Oxford.

This is the fascinating historical account of a personal career in aviation
from the perspective of a highly respected design and flight engineer.
Spanning more than 40 years, Richard Stratten has worked on some of the most
interesting aircraft design projects through what many consider to be, the
hay-day of British aviation. He has also featured as an expert advisor in
documentaries for television.

Having seen one of Dick's talks before (and spent many an hour chatting
in the Bicester Gliding Club bar) I can reccomend this to anyone
interested in aviation.

Thanks for the reminder: I hope to be there. But what's the parking
situation for visitors, please? This could be critical information.

("Not so much a college, more a Fair Isle pullover", as the graffiti
said WIWAL.)

Hi,

Keble doesn't have any public parking, indeed most colleges don't.
But it is very close to St Giles where there should be ample parking at that
time of the evening.

There may also be some parking adjacent to and at the rear of the college
which can be access via Keble Road. The address of the College it's self is
on South Parks Road about 200 yards from the junction of the Banbury road.
see the map for details: Keble is number 14.
