Found it! First flight of something very dear to Dave B's heart!
Where is Garry, anyway?

Yeh.. we've already had a razzling from the curator for not making a song and fuss about it

However.. one of the local journo's turned up on the day and it appeared in the local rag. Not the most glowing story of aviation history I've read but that just about sum's the Vanguard up! We're all looking forward to 2011 as it's a rather special year for APEP ;-)
