Update On reflection the committee has realised a panel full of posters may not be the best way of advertising our art in the museum. It has been decided to revert to the subject - free aviation art usual for February, but to still award the Mavas Trophy for the best poster. Further information on page 30
Update 2 Charles Kadin saw the news item about Charles Thompson and wote: Attached is my painting of the Canadarm II which received Second place in the Space Category of Aviation Week & Space Technology juried avart competition. The work went on exhibit at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola Florida, USA. It is the same avart contest for which Charlie's painting won the grand "Gong." We liked the painting so much we invited Charles to be our featured artist next issue.
Oops! Keith Woodcock saw the report on the visit to his exhibition and wrote: Just received the latest MAvAS missive with my painting on the front cover plus the photo of Peter, Ron and myself for which, many thanks. However, if I can just point out that although I'm a Yorkie, at the moment I don't live in darkest Yorkshire. The exhibition was held at the south side of the Humber bridge in my current home town of Barton in North Lincolnshire. Suggest you update your sat-nav! .................Keith
Apologies to Lincolnshire. ...Ed.
