Here are a couple of photographs as an update on the large scale models. The ‘Golden Hind’ is almost ready for the first coat of paint, while its missing float is being manufactured using the surviving example as a pattern. The ‘Maia’ has entered the fuselage rebuild and filler stage!

Happy faces at the MAPSL ‘End of Year’ dinner held at the Holiday Inn. Smiles all round with the awards for ‘Moving their bed to the Cathedral’. This was in recognition for time given by these members for their efforts during August. The raffle caused some problems with which bottle to choose!

This is brilliant news! MAPSL has been awarded a prestigious national award. Presented by Aviation Heritage UK (AHUK) annually, the Robert Pleming Award is an annual award for ‘lnnovation in Restoration’ and is a wonderful endorsement of our efforts by our heritage peer groups across the country.
The photos show some of the MAPSL CHAPS proudly admiring the certificate, main trophy (held for a year) and the smaller permanent memento trophy.

Three handsome (!) members looking professional in their MAPSL attire attended the ‘Medway in Miniature’ exhibition at the Medway Archives Centre recently. As the title suggests, this was a celebratory display of models with a Medway theme and part of the annual Heritage Open Week held during September. Visitor numbers were steady through the day, much goodwill was directed towards MAPSL and useful contacts were made.
