On Sunday 18th October, Life Member, Bob Buchanan, celebrated his 90th birthday with a gathering of family and friends in the Club's Sir Henry Wigram Lounge. Bob's passion for planes began in his teens and he was one of the group who did so much to develop the Club after the war years. He was Chief Engineer from 1950 to 1955, and President from 1957 to 1962.

Bob's daughter, Marie, said, "We had the best party possible for Bob on Sunday. The finishing touch was a DC3 landing and taking off as the afternoon sun came out, after we arrived in drizzly grey weather. Many, many thanks for letting us use the Lounge. It was the perfect place for everyone to meet, read the Honours Boards and be in the place that is so dear to Bob's heart."
