The York
Microlight
Flying Club

In the Summer of 1997, The York Flying Club will be embarking on an attempt to fly microlight aircraft around the entire coastline of mainland U.K., a distance of approximately 2,000 miles.

Our objectives are:

• To raise money via sponsorship and to generate publicity on behalf of the Anthony Nolan Trust.
• To promote the sport of microlight flying.

As the event Co-ordinator, I am enlisting support from clubs like yourselves, who may be able to help our enterprise in any way. Also I would like invite your members to fly with us on some of the legs of our route.

We are allowing two full weeks in July/August (exact dates to be announced) to complete the course.

As this is a fun event, the rules are very few:-

1. The course must be flown in a microlight aircraft.
2. The U.K. coastline shall be to the left of track at all times, (except for re-fuelling/over night stops etc). The direction of the course is anti-clockwise.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope that you can assist us to make this event a great success.

Yours sincerely

Andy Malham
