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...

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...

Last week I swallowed some plutonium.

It gave me atomic ache :oops:

If you are out for your evening constitutional you might like to cast your eyes skyward and spot the ISS.

I bet they dont have Corona Virus !!

:lol:

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 -...

So they were flown back on a 20(?) hour flight with any one or more of them already possibly infected.
Then they are relieved to be out in the fresh British air.
Then they are put up in apartments where they, in some cases, are sharing apartments...

Yeah, so there is this whole “corona” thing going on.

Apparently some chavs are fighting over 2-ply, and a few of the upper middle class are letting go their young Italian maids “just in case”.

So, what is everyone doing to be middle class...

For the past many decades my job has been in the haulage industry. On another thread trucks have taken a knock, very minor and only banter, but being bored it prompted me to share a few thoughts about what the drivers are facing.

Anybody going to...

They want 250,000 people apparently.

I've registered. Now a waiting time while they check that I am who I say I am. I've signed up to deliver medicines and healthcare kit/supplies.

It seems the app works like those used by takeaway drivers. You...

Yesterday (1/4/20) during the ministerial briefing, a chart was shown showing the reduction in transport across the UK. However comment was made about a rise in car usage with a blip in the level to between 30 & 40% of normal. (I can't find the...

One of my clients has now closed their offices with indefinite home working imposed, so it's all Teams / Slack calls for a while.

I'm already bored of joining web meetings and looking at colleagues' dining room walls.

Does anyone have any...

I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on this.

I need a camera that can be remotely accessed to take still shots, and possible short videos (<1 minute). It will be in a remote location with no WiFi so needs to be 3G/4G. If it's only WiFi I...

This 71 year old fella just got for two and a half years and for the life of me I can't see why. I'd wager that 90% of people in prisons are there for pointless Victorian style retribution, not discouragement of others or rehabilitation.

Mrs Me does some teaching, which is now done online - mainly through Zoom. Her recently acquired el-cheapo wireless lapel mic is great for when she does the occasional (You Tube) recorded video, but hopeless for Zoom as it cuts out the audio from...

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...

This morning, living in SE England , I woke to clear blue skies.
Very bright sunlight and a lot of sunshine warmth.
Not a contrail to be seen .

Are we going to experience increased surface temperatures as a result ?
What about solar panels - will...

We are trying to make productive use of the extra time from being at home. Working through out of date goods in the larder has become a thing.

Have been checking for obvious signs - e.g. pest damage, mould and the rancid taste of old fats and oils,...

Does anyone recognise the make or model of this car. Owned by a British man in Austria in 1948.

I haven't a clue!

TIA

I suppose there will be another couple of days hand-wringing about free access to deadly weapons in the USA. Ultimately the NRA will roll out some aged film star bearing his automatic rifle, someone else will quote the Bill of Rights and everyone...

For those who know of Fitton and Cabin Pressure, some additional episodes are available on YouTube....

If this has been posted before, apologies, I did a quick search but didn't spot anything.

No TXPDR’s on today’s mode of transport. Grass cutting isolation. 8)

Probably not the top of the priority or humanitarian list, but my first thought was:
Cruises
I'm pretty sure some cruisers would say 'Light Aviation' though.

Ever since I moved away from my previous multi-AP Apple Airport wifi system to a mix of mainly Unifi UAP & a couple of Apple Airport wifi system, mobile devices have been much less willing to switch from one AP to another as I move around the...

I know this is a very delicate and personal matter but the phrase "quality of life" is often used when we talk about people who are suffering from complex and life-limiting conditions.

I would be interested to hear what folks think about...

Keeping politics out of it…can we read anything in to the outcome of Alex Salmond's court case.

Reading some of the accusations during the trial I did raise an eyebrow at the authenticity of the allegations, however with 10 women making accusations...

Are there any HTML wizzards that could help me find a way to display images that have been FTP'd to a server at a particular time, on a regular basis so that I always see the latest one on the server.

The files are of the form...

Nice story about a young singer falling in love with flying.

My friends on the continent tell me Mike Ashley has sold to the Russians and are guarding the assets with Gun boats .
Is it true there are more than one or two in the North Sea ?

Don’t forget to Put your clocks forward tonight.

About four months should be about right!

I find some of the news I've read this morning really depressing.

Some chap, a headteacher, has posted on twitter 'shaming' the free school meal provision for kids at home while schools are closed.

He posts a picture of the food. Looks like the...

In these gloomy times, it is good to be reminded of the scope of human ingenuity.

Anyone else watching this programme on BBC1? Could be classed as “slow” TV, but it’s fascinating to see the superb craftsmanship on display.

Excellent levels of awareness of a global issue, but shocking levels of local prioritisation since the UK is 1% of global emissions.

IIRC China has an embassy in London, but of course China is the one nation that tried to tackle the actual cause...

I'm puzzled: I've just sat through watching an interview on telly with a virologist/epidemiologist on the need for the two metre rule as the virus is shed by coughing/ sneezing. She went on to say that even talking to someone in a room the virus can...

Tesla shows $300m profit in quarter ending Sept. and shares jump 10%.

I am using Node-RED to grab real time State of Charge data from my Powerwall API, and to then inject it in to some home energy monitoring software. That works well, but I am struggling to understand how I can parse (I think that is the word) some...

I fancy a cordless lawnmower to replace my petrol one. Garden is medium sized, normally takes me 30 mins. Needs some manouevrability as there’s a large grass flat area and the rest in bumpy/lumpy around trees/beds. I‘m not interested in crown green...

There has been a lot of criticism of perceived hoarding, however.....
If I had woken up this morning with a persistent cough and a fever I would be required to self isolate for 7 days, my wife for 14. Now that is a serious amount of food we would...

As per the title, viral load is something I don't really understand but it's been mentioned on the main thread and it sounds as if it might become important right now.

In my limited half-understanding, as an example, if Mrs E goes to work where...

Lots of instructional videos around, not quite so much soap (have you tried buying any lately?)

To demonstrate my ineptness in matters IT I have the following question:

When I am at home and type in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx there is an immediate response however when I do the same over 4G nothing happens.

Why is that?
