RMS Titanic first transmitted CQD, and later also SOS, after it hit an iceberg
off Newfoundland in April 1912. CQD was often recalled by the mnemonic Come
Quickly - Danger. Trust this does not apply to the IS28!

Interesting registration, CQD. Prior to 1912 it was the morse code distress
signal. CQ = calling all stations. D = distress. Replaced by SOS circa 1912.
Did you get many offers of help?

Please could you include the following:
Sale of IS28s. Due to fleet restructuring the Gliding Club of Victoria
offers for sale one of its IS28s - either CQD (7,500 hours TT) or WVV (13,250
hours TT). Both 28s are in very good condition with standard instruments and
radios. The prices are $19,000 and $16,000 respectively and it was thought
that WVV could be attractive to a small club or syndicate. Call Robert on 03
9489 4298 or [email protected].
We have our second ASK-21 about to come on line and would be pleased if
another club would benefit from our well-maintained 28s,
Bernard Barry
