New pages: The 1910 Midlands Aviation Meeting!
The first national British aviation meeting was held on June 27th - July 2nd 1910, at the Dunstall Park racecourse in Wolverhampton.

New pages: Vichy 1910 - was there a meeting or not?
The 1910 Vichy meeting is a bit of a mystery. It was announced and sanctioned already during the winter, but apparently didn't happen on the announced dates of 5-12 June. On the other hand, some fragments of information indicate that a minor meeting did take place one week later, during the weekend ...

Re: Airfield maps don't work
Oh, the pleasures of running a website... :| As usual I've no clue what has happened or what Google has done, but after one hour's work the URLs of the embedded airfield maps of 25 of the 32 airfield pages have been replaced.

Re: Airfield maps don't work
