Message from President Brian Souter:
21st February 2008
"Good evening to you all, it is evening in New Zealand,
Fred Newman has for sometime
expressed the wish to relinquish his position as Vice
President for the Americas Region. I am very pleased to
tell you that Peter More our webmaster and former
Section Chairman for the South West Section of the USA
has agreed to accept the appointment as IFFR's new Vice
President for the Americas Region. I should also point
out that this appointment has the full blessing of our
President-elect Feroz Wadia who I spoke to earlier today
while he was sailing the Pacific Ocean off the shores of
Chile. At this stage it is anticipated that Peter will
occupy the post until the end of Feroz's term as World
President in June 2010.
I must say "thank you" to Fred
Newman for accepting the challenge when I originally
asked Fred to take on the task which has not been
an easy one for anybody. Fred has offered some very
positive suggestions to help the Americas progress and
Peter hopes to act on these suggestions. I am sure you
all will wish to thank Fred for his input during his
term and to wish Peter good fortune, tail winds and fair
skies for his term.
This change over will take effect
at the end of this month, February 29th. Be advised that
Peter will return to Los Angeles from business travels
March 4th.
With many a kind wish,
President Brian

great interest. A sprightly 84 year old who kept
everyone spell bound with his activities on "D" Day. Les
Munroe is the only surviving pilot from the famous Dam
Buster 617 squadron of the RAF. On "D" Day he and his
fellow pilots with 2 flights of 8 Lancasters in each
flight flew flight patterns with extreme precision in
order simulate a phantom flotilla sailing from England
to the enemy shores in Northern France at 8 knots.
