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 Help and Advice forum has now existed with its current title for a little over six months. There is some fantastic help and advice given that really shows the collective knowledge of the forum and its members at its best. There do, however,...

RAF Staverton was, as far as I know, a pre-WWII base. So why does Google Earth say that, in 1945, it looked like this:

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...

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?

Does anyone know of some over-the-counter foolproof laxative that can provide a solution to constipation?

After a period of some turmoil and living largely on bread that I know doesn't agree with me I can't get a bowel movement - any suggestions ?...

Mum has discovered a Burma Star which she says belonged to Dad, and might have been awarded to his father, who served in the Navy. Problem is, Grandpapa died when Dad was very young, and Dad died a couple of years ago, so we don't know the history...

Looks like winter will arrive early this year; I've got 2 x Robins feeding on mealworms from one of my feeders and a Wren coming in on a tree next to them; never seen a Wren in the garden this early.

Traveling through the UK at present with German friends and on the way back we want to stop off somewhere worthwhile but within 2 hours of Folkestone.

Any suggestions - preferably good ones?

Thanks in advance.

Our G695 has gone into some sort of 'dark mode'.

You can barely see the start screen - has a Transair logo just visible.

Contacted Mendels and they say it is now a doorstop - and oh, btw - Garmin no longer support repairs to that model.

What a...

I must confess I am finding it very hard to contain my indifference :sleeping:

Our wills need updating as they were last written 20 plus years ago. There is absolutely nothing fancy in our requests, simply we want to hand everything over to our two sons a straight 50:50. There are a couple of items we'd like to give each...

I've always been quite sympathetic to on screen ads- after all they pay for stuff I'm seeing and it costs me nothing.

However this morning my 'wake up page' was virtually obscured by google ads, top and bottom leaving me a tiny letter-box slot...

Well having scrapped our West Country escape, and looking at the forecast, I am guessing there will be lots of tele-watching in our house over the next two weeks.

Our preference is for serial scandi noir - there was a thread in which The Valhalla...

Can anyone offer a sensible explanation of why 'everyone' on Facebook etc appears to believe that Teresa May is solely responsible for a tower block burning down?

I really can't be a***d to try and unravel the facts from the dross.

With the news that they won't be returning until 2025, a LinkedIn poster has suggested we have about six months to manufacture and distribute eight billion ape costumes for the ultimate prank.

About 2 weeks ago, WhatsApp just stopped notifying me on my iPhone X

Updated WA, updated iPhone, hard reset, uninstalled, installed from iCloud.

Everything is turned on !

Mind blowing decisions cause head on collisions

Last week I swallowed some plutonium.

It gave me atomic ache :oops:

Tragic loss of life especially after all he's been through after last two years.

But are the Italians serious in thinking survivors may be alive in air pockets after over three days? :(

Now that I've sold the timeshare in Madeira, its time to think of Family/villa holiday next year slightly closer to home.

Always fancied Tuscany/Chianti-shire but understand there's big water restrictions in Italy which would kill a swimming pool...

The title says it all.

I've been using the same Devolo dLAN 200 ethernet over power plugs for probably close to 15 years, possibly more and they are finally beginning to fail.

I have bought one second-hand but I know doing that again is likely to be just postponing the...

I'd like a few more, both for this size downpipe and a much smaller one, approx 2 inch

Trouble is, I don't know what they are called!...

Until this week I had it in mind to buy a one-off, Era 300 to use as a stand-alone Bluetooth speaker.

Now, everything I read says the company is plummeting to oblivion because its latest app doesn't work.

As far as I can tell, this is something to...

I recall discussion here many moons ago of people's experience with the French gizmo for paying the autoroute tolls automatically. There now seems to be quite a range of options that also cover other European countries: Bip&Go, Tollbird,...

If you did (as I did) we are a dying breed.

The company has recently closed down :(

How sad is that?

Sprog version 1 just received his "convocation" to the Belgian Cadet Force.

Unlike British Air Training Corps that I knew BITD, in Belgium - you have to pass selection to become an air cadet.

Selection is tough - it's basically the same...

Consistently been 6/7/8 April over the past few years. Uncanny and Joyous :D

...at least I thought so. Has anyone seen anything like this? I assume it is a vessel used in the construction/assembly of offshore wind farms? There was no obvious site on the horizon.

The respected apolitical experts at the World Health Organisation have declared another global health emergency, like they did with COVID 19. They say that it's a sexually transmitted disease but seem a bit light on facts on how it's spreading and...

I haven't really got much use for this, if we get one caller a week, that's a crowd. But it would have been convenient yesterday.

What do I need to know? What brands? What models? What features?

Finding somewhere sensibly priced in London for a night or two has always been an issue.

Due to the dishonesty, chicanery and fraudulent claims of so called gender fluid competitors are we now privy to the dissolution of competitive sport ? Is the current Olympics the last ?

Perhaps people may like to re-think their prefered diets.
I suspect quite a few people have noticed the overgrown hedges and verges, lining our highways and byways. But how many have spotted the pretty yellow but highly poisonous weed, called...

Highlighted by the death of the brilliant Graham Thorpe, it appears the term 'batsman' has been abandoned by some of the media.

Thought I’d start a new thread on this side. Well, I’ve binge watched and found it quite entertaining. Clearly, the “star” of the show is his sidekick Kaleb. He brings Clarkson down to earth (pardon the pun) and he sees him (Kaleb) as a younger...

There can’t be a link between the tragic events in Southport and the almost tragic events in Vienna can there?
Tinfoil hat on, there are some similarities.

Just updated to 17.6 and now I can't send or reply to WhatsApp either using Siri or in the car using Car play.

It may be something to do with the update getting Siri's knickers in a twist about whether the contact is 'mobile' or not....
