Hey,

New month, new topic again :lol:

Been a good month so far and today was the best day, we had the de Havilland Moth Club pay a visit. Was a pretty dire day weather wise. Low cloud most of the day, still managed to get many fly in even though...

As it was my 'week' with the shareoplane, and the weather was looking promising, I decided to add a new airfield in my logbook and take a trip over to Caernarfon from Nottingham.

The trip itself was quite uneventful for the most part... it was...

If this happens, perhaps in a fit of nostalgia after Brexit the BoT could take back (from or incorporating CAA) control of civil air regulation (FCL, ARB, ATLB ..) .. :)

Hi all,

Following on from my last post, and still playing with ideas from looking at old posts, I quite like the look of the TB10, particularly the Cavendish refurbed ones.

Just throwing this out there but wondering if anyone would be interested...

After 7 years of flying at Biggin Hill, I decided to have a look around for something faster and more fun to fly, along with the ability to fly further afield at the same cost or much less. I did quite a bit of research and was very much interested...
