Monthly News - May 2014

After a sabbatical, we are back with the Monthly News for May 2014.  The GAAR 2014 was a great succes and enjoyed by all participants and the GUKAR 2014 (aka MEBAR 2014) presented some very challenging navigation as it took in most of the major lighthouses of the Northern Lighthouse Board in Scotland.

This month's Feature of the Month takes us to Iraq with the domestic routes of Iraqi Airways from 1954 when their fleet consisted of British aircraft.  Details are available at the link below.
