PPL 'artifacts'; what to display?

[Vince C]

The National Trust at Styal has asked volunteers to provide info on interesting pastimes they take part in. My proposal of PPL flying has been enthusiastically accepted by NT. They have pictures.. but they want some 'things' to display as well (I'm assured they'll be secure). I'm thinking a headset, a chart... maybe an empty wallet.

What ideas do you have?

[AerBabe]

Kneeboard, epaulettes, large watch, white leather gloves, flying suit ...

However, a chart with a route properly marked, a plog, ruler and whizz wheel might be better.

Working model with checklist---chart with route--and basic explanation.
If feasable--what"s involved in obtaining a PPL.

[Monocock]

A headset is a good one. Non-flyers are always a bit intrigued by them and want to try them on. It would be nice to find a way to have some recorded GA ATC dialogue playing through an MP3 player when they do put them on.

A recording of mr nasty-ex elstree- should give them a taster .

[AerBabe]

It's easy enough to mock up a recording. Just don't use the name of a real airfield!

Wot Aerbabe said. I've got some old international charts and a watch I'll never use if that will help.

How about a handheld radio tuned into MCR tower? I find people are always fascinated by RT. If it just needs to be something on display without making a noise, then a chart with a route on it which leaves the country looks good too.

Watch, compass, chart, seat of pants.

[kanga]

Douglas protractor
topo and instrument chart(s)
airfield guide sheet for nearby airfield(s) (perhaps a grass strip, 3 r/w field, airport with 1 long r/w)
approach flipchart open to approach(es) to nearby airfield)s)

Study books, CAP 413, EASA Regulations....

EASA Regulations....

Possibly simpler to fill the display cabinet with:

[Pete S]

Kneeboard, half mil, chinagraph pencils and whizz wheel and plotter.

Plus Kneeboard with stopwatch, headset and fuel strainer,

GPS. Cheque book with stubs showing astronomical prices of fuel.

Whizz Wheel definitely, they will spend hours trying to work out what it does, bit like student pilots then

Bonedome, gloves, flying suit, small pen!s
