Club News and Notices

Farewell Dick Wickham Club founder member, Dick Wickham, passed away recently. His Funeral will be at Gorleston Crematorium, February 7th, 2.00PM         Dick Wickham “Remembered with a Smile” I have known Dick since I was a lad in short trousers, living at Mutford, and visiting the airfield at Ellough. He was always a very enthusiastic modeller and brilliant at full size aircraft recognition. In those days it was mostly control line flying, and the club built up a reputation in this area and used to display at a lot of events. Then along came Radio, in a much cruder form than it is now, and I remember some of Dick’s efforts in the early days, which were often conspicuous for their early demise and entry to the inevitable plastic bag. Dick was never destined to become a great pilot of the model plane and he always found flying difficult but great fun. He loved the building part of the hobby, and over the years produced some very nice scale models. I feel very privileged to have been a friend for so many years, and we always shared a laugh and a joke whatever the circumstances. All his life he was a great contributor to the Waveney Model Flying Club, and always so supportive of the club. I will miss him very much, as will a great many of the club who knew him over the years. I think that the greatest tribute would be as I began;     “Remembered with a Smile” (By Mike Cole, Chairman, Waveney MFC)
