It is with Great Sadness we acknowledge the  passing of one New Zealands  Greatest Aviators. BRETT EMNEY PATRON OF THE  STRATFORD AERO CLUB. He  will be sorely missed by many.  Especially at Airshows  around the Country. His way with Aircraft was a  pleasure  to watch  everytime  he  appeared in the overhead  at NZSD. I shall be doing a larger Montage of Brett in due course I have many , many photo,s of Brett.

Tuesday was a Sad day for us here at the  STRATFORD AERO CLUB as we lost one of our own.  Now that Kenny's name has been released here is a montage of photo,s I have taken over the years. Kenny was a Friend to everyone just a great guy outstanding Pilot bar non. Always happy to muck in a Club person through and through. Our only Scottish person in the club and ya always recognized that accent. He is the current highest houred FOKKER PILOT at the Mo. The Club express,s it,s deep sadness for Fliss , Luke and Mathew. Fly high always Kenneth.
