The show will start at 19h30 but please feel free to start arriving from 18h00 for snacks and soft drinks and a walk around the factory.

To all Sling supporters

James Pitman will be giving a talk and a slideshow presentation at the Charles Glass society in Cape town on the 8th March 2012. Contact him to find out more about the presentation and find out what what you need to do to attend.

James, Jean and Mike are willing to give a slide show and talk to any club, anywhere ... just give them a call and set it up.

The CHARLES GLASS SOCIETY? Now that sounds like a wonderful opportunity to sink a few cold ones... and talk airplanes at the same time... the man is a GENIUS!

Please let us have some more details, what time, where exactly, etc etc...
