Very Sad News of One of The Team

Everyone who knew Robert Wondrak will have known that he has been highly regarded and well liked at Enstone Airfield for many years... His son, thoughtfully popped in yesterday afternoon with Rob's grandson; he has been visiting each Club on the airfield to personally tell everyone the very sad news that Rob has lost his battle with Cancer... 

Rob has been teaching and examining RT at Enstone Flying Club for over 20 years...In fact, the instructors here remember him examining them!  We don't want to give too much away, but that could be up to 20 years ago 😱. As soon as we know the details of Rob's memorial we will let you know...
