Flyer Forum Code of Conduct

At its best, the Flyer Forum continues to be a valuable resource for the General Aviation community

It is a place where flyers of all experience levels can meet to discuss and exchange up-to-date undistorted...

Welcome to the new Help and Advice forum. You'll probably spot that many of the posts were in Non-Aviation, and some may spot that the politically leaning threads are no more.

The Code of Conduct remains the same…

Be nice, considerate and...

The tagline for the Non-Aviation Forum says:
No religion, no politics and no axe grinding please.
We said a while ago that we would allow the "Neverendum" thread to act as a repository for discussion of Brexit so long as people were...

I'm kinda sad to see it for sale. Fantastic business in a fantastic location, where, yes, there are cars, but no road in. Access is either by boat or walking (I've done both). How many forumites were aware there was such a place remaining on the...

Since most of us are possibly in for an extended period of @home, what to do?

I already started a playlist on Spotify:
My Sharona (sing along to “my Corona”)
Peggy Lee - Fever
London’s Burning - the Clash
Hot Stuff - Donna Summer
I will survive -...

Not sure if this is just a local fad, but we seem to have a number of houses locally having their tiled roof cleaned. Taking them from a nice weathered brown, to bright clay orange.
I assume this is purely an aesthetic fad?
Perhaps it's just a...

So this is something that keeps niggling at me as I see all these talking heads discussing COVID and the vaccines.

The Prime Minister previously contracted C19 and recovered in May. In his own words he was "bursting with antibodies"....

Saw a short clip of a narrow gauge 2-10-2T loco on the Hartz narrow gauge railway in Germany on telly the other day; I have a collection of narrow gauge (OO9/HOe scale on 9mm gauge track) model railway stuff in the attic and this re-kindled my...

Before you ask, no, not a Bond-style accessory for your motor...a very entertaining video from a youngster who deserves a successful future -

(Have we a blanket ban on discussing this? If so please delete.)

From the start I had accepted the view that this was, by definition, a 'novel' disease against which we have no defence. However I think it was Bob Crowe who linked to this:

Last week I swallowed some plutonium.

It gave me atomic ache :oops:

Help finance the project elsewhere. :lol:

Not so much a thought experiment as a peek into the future.

Assuming that there's no useful vaccine, what's the exit strategy from this Covid mess for families, the economy, society, education, government... everything?

Simple question, can I? Should I? Will you?

Howdy

I'd like to find a home wifi set up that gives a strong signal across the entire house. We are starting an extension build in January so I want to find the best options.
At the moment our old BT router does a pretty good job but it doesn't...

OK, I know I am not really allowed to listen to this being male, and generally I find it tedious. Lengthy pieces about an all-female Macbeth, followed by items about why white actors shouldn't be playing roles of (pauses while he searches for...

So after a break of nearly a year I have found another Nissan leaf to soothe my needs to drive an EV.

But things have changed a bit on the charging front !

No longer does my Ecotricity electric highway card work in the machines at the motorway...

Does anyone know whether these are any use? If so I have one going spare, though its battery life will have expired. If it's useless does anyone have advice on safe disposal?

Well, it is Help & Advice forum...

We have been lucky enough to have the neighbours from hell move in. The estate is a mix of privately owned and council/housing association. And yup, next door is council. Inhabited by an old guy since 1958, he...

As you get older you will come up against ageism.
Most people under 30 think everyone over 60 is ancient and brain dead--that is until they reach 60 and are then assumed brain dead themselves.
I recently made enquiries ref car hire--as I wanted to...

Starting a new thread as I (& others?) might have similar questions in future ..

Curtains

Does anyone have any experience with motorised curtains?

I'd like to automate three curtains in our Sitting Room; ours are fairly heavy & wide,...

Hello,
My name is Dharmil and I am a graduate from University of Salford, Manchester (2020) in Aircraft Engineering with Pilot Studies. I was wondering if anyone can guide my or help me finding a graduate job in Avionics, Air Navigation and...

We are converting a farm building into a workshop for servicing of light aircraft and the odd classic car and we have now reached the time where flooring finish has to be decided.

The workshop-to-be has a tamped concrete floor which although 50...

I have been musing on possibilities and would be interested in thoughts on these and other scenarios folk might have thought about. Plainly scenarios 3 or 4 would run alongside 1 or 2 to develop an expected outcome for planning.

Scenario 1, Diwali...

Just punting this to see if anyone is interested.

There has rarely been a better time to invest in equities, the market has collapsed and there are bargains to be had. Who was it said the wise investor buys when everyone is selling and sells when...

I try to do something kind every day so this won’t be too taxing, but thought I’d share it. :clap: :thumright:

Watched this last night for nostalgia value. Glossed over the debacle that was the dome exhibition and party and very reticent about where some of the intelligence came from, but well worth a proper film Iike Hatton Garden I would have thought....

I have two DAB midi systems both of which I have recently tuned using the same external omni directional aerial.. Why is it one can receive stations the other cannot?

I have a situation where they both display the same radio station but one isn't...

Hopefully someone here can help me and stop me tearing my hair out!

I've got an iPhone 6s and a Samsung A20e and what I'm trying to do is connect them to a TV (about 5 years old) to share the screen - I'm looking to run the virtual cycling app...

I seem to be watching a lot more tele these days.

It's been a while since I was involved in the wacky world of tele advertising. Full union crews back in those days or the whole thing was shut down instantly. But things have changed, some of the...

Having had my Hotmail account work fine for years on my iPhone, can anyone tell my why I’m suddenly seeing this?

I had to drive to London today to deliver my son back to his flat. Unlike the early days of lockdown last time there was no eerie absence of traffic. We had to go through the fringes of Reading as the M4 was closed there and that was pretty busy...

Talking of tasking GCHQ to go after anti-vaxxer misinformation allegedly being spread by Russian government sources on western social media, a Whitehall source commented that GCHQ was able to gain permission to tackle disinformation that originated...

An interesting career. RIP

Dear Team

Has anyone got experience with one of these or similar?

Was looking at a Steinel exterior light with camera but cannot find anyone who has tried one.

The Ring lights with camera are too unwieldy really.

Not bothered with a TV in the 5 years I've been in the flat.

BBC1/2/4 is all I need.

Still have the old TV that worked with freeview from a traditional aerial. (is there a freeview 'box'? I can't remember.)

Do I just need a traditional aerial...

Not sure if others have already discussed this, but could I get your advice on coronavirus refunds - am I being thick (probably)?

With the lockdown, a number of our kids' clubs (that we have paid for) aren't going ahead. Everyone is being very nice...

Might be of interest to some on here

The last upgrade did bad things to power consumption on my XS Max. :(

Should I await feedback from others before installing?

Hi everyone,coming back to building models after many years I decided to build one with my grand son. I found one on line and reports said it was an afternoon build so purchased it . I am four days in and am no where near even finishing the wing as...

Less sex, less alcohol, less drugs, less antisocial behaviour

And fatter, more depressed, getting less sleep, with more tendency to self harm.

Causation, correlation, or co-incidence?

I have just been reminded by an ex-colleague that it is 40 years to the day since the SAS stormed the Iranian embassy in Princes Gate in London. Those who were privileged to have had ringside seats to the operation will never forget it. Even though...

What is going on, it seems that many news story these days gets linked to mental health issues. I have just read a piece about cash not being accepted in some shops and even that ended up with a tale that it was causing someone depression and mental...

I use Thunderbird as an Email client on the PC desktop. It was working fine until an update around midday today to version 78.4.0 (32 bit). (That confused me as the PC is 64 bit )

Now it won't receive mail although it did send a test one to my wife...

Hi folks

I've been on 3 for many years and they provide me with a box to plug into my broadband router to get a decent service at home. It's OK for outgoing calls but often incoming calls go to voicemail and I get a text to tell me some 20 minutes...

Hi,

Just renewed my FIC (FI(R) and looking for work in the South (shortly moving to Caterham). Calling round the schools but minimal positions with the number of instructors coming off courses. Helping out over a weekend or any ground school would...

As of this afternoon Mr Trump is"experiencing "mild symptoms"

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Trump is experiencing mild covid-19 symptoms and is working from the residence.
