Back in UK for the 1990 Cranfield PFA Rally.
Gordon Parkin, Steve Clark and Derek Hampson with Kilo Charlie on an away day to Nottingham Tollerton in July 1990.
Gordon was one of the club's mainstays who devoted the majority of his offduty time to instructing. Following his retirement from the Service he has continued to instruct professionally at a number of UK clubs. Derek was always a keen aviator and in addition to helping at Laarbruch also bought a PA28-140 and later a Bolkow Junior, which he group owned with Steve, and which he still owns and flies today from his work base near Rotterdam.

Round Germany Tour 1990 - Furthest South. The approach to Vilshofen, picturesquely set beside the Danube.
The tour went South from Laarbruch to Bayreuth, then Vilshofen close to the Czech & Austrian borders, before turning north to Augsburg. Then Baden Baden, on up to Hannover and the island spit of Juist, before returning via Emden. For all who made the trip,it summed up the spirit of why the club existed and they areforever grateful to those made the club possible.

Round Germany Tour 1990 - Furthest North.
Climbing out from the North Sea island of Juist, showing both the Tower and the signals square positioned on the cafe roof ! Photographer Steve Clark comments: " When you consider that the sea is just next to the runway, out of sight to the right, but can also be seen in the top of the photo, you can understand how thin the island is in width and why it is such an interesting place to visit."
