On the 16th July 1969 Apollo 11 lifted off from Cape Kennedy carrying the command module, Columbia and the Lunar Module, Eagle with Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin & Michael Collins heading for the moon. On 20th July at 20:17 UTC the Lunar module touched down on the moons surface with the words THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!

We will be commemorating this momentous event and plan to operate from our club station all day on 20th and 21st July.
