Coltishall's open day .After the spectacular helicopter arrival of Rear Admiral Jameson, annual inspection wentsmoothly until the R .A .F . section's dinghy display . Unfortunately, the dinghy had not been usedfor some time prior to this event, and its upkeep had been neglected, resulting in a six-inch tearin the base and a hole in one of the rings, which made for quite an interesting display .In retrospect, the year has been both enjoyable andcontinuation of this theme, next year .successful and we look forward to aS .
