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...

Top Gear employing journalists rather than drivers for a motoring programme and putting them in challenging situations was always going to end in tears

Of course as a lead presenter on Fifth Gear, and an ex-F1 driver, alongside Vicki B-H an...

Hope to visit dabbling duck restaurant soon.
Believe it"s been asked before but can"t find it on forum.
Advice on route from airfield to restaurant would be appreciated.

So I sign up to Scala Premium, link the account to the witch Alex and ask her to play something.......

Nope.....

Went through the various help things on Scala but nowt !

Anyone got an easy way to say...

Alexa, play Scala Radio Movie Blockbusters...

No problem for all on here today :wink:

It is not often that the propulsion department back aft would alert the control room for’d that there is a problem with depth control - a quick look at the escape platform depth gauge combined with water ingress from the shaft stern seal increasing...

Hi,

We’ve decided we’d like a boiling water tap installed. After looking at the Quooker website I’m now being bombarded by adverts for lots of alternative products, starting at around a third of the £1500 price tag that we’d pay for a Quooker tap...

I notice Hotel Chocolat have just sold out to Mars.

I can't believe that will be good for the product.

We do have one good local chocolatier in Wendover, but any recommendations for another brand?

I Have a Permit aircraft and feel happier flying it now the maintenance is down to me. Stuff like splitting the hubs and fitting new tyres.

Today I entrusted a tyre fitting outfit to fit a new set of alloy wheels to my car . Simple job. Remove not...

Today's headline from God's own county

Three women accused of theft and cruelty charges after three lambs owned by the King were removed from his Sandringham estate have been banned from entering Norfolk, except to stand trial.
That'll teach...

I came across this, which I'm ashamed to say was new to me. I don't know if others are familiar, but I can't help feeling that it ought to be required reading for politicians.....It was written by Carl Sagan after he saw an awesome photograph of...

This time of year I always try to carry some loose change (youngsters, ask your parents) around for the poppy sellers. I have inevitably left the poppy I bought yesterday on a different jacket.

We also needed to mail (youngsters, ask your parents)...

Booths announcing today that they're largely scrapping self-service check-outs...

Dare I admit, I rather prefer them? Usually no queues, I can scan at my own pace in the order that I want to put things into the bags in? Even better, the...

...because they make me ashamed to be of the same species...

Just finished this, which came out about a month ago. A combined history of the operational history of the Mosquito in RAF service, and the Danish resistance against the Nazis during WW2. The two narratives combine to eventually describe in detail...

Sorry tale from a friend. After spending a tidy sum on a pony for his daughter, along with a set of tack and 12 months stabling up front, she's announced that she's now Vegan and can no longer ride the animal. Her leather footwear has been rejected...

Recently getting messages etc where the final part says complete "I am not a robot".
My robot has stated to tick this box. Can I assume that a robot so clever to do this is ok or should I report him to the police.

Recently bought a lovely 1999 Z3 with a personalised plate. It means nothing to me but is “reasonably” distinctive. The car needs a little bit of bodywork TLC and I’m thinking selling the plate might help offset the cost. But what is it worth? I can...

…but at least they do it well.

Demonstrating Pi with pizza…

(My only gripe is, they should have done it the other way round, so the .14 part was closest to the camera..or done an overhead or summit…)

Anybody else watching this on Netflix?
I had just finished watching my last offering on there & was scratching around for something new, so saw this advertised & decided to give it a try.

I’m not into football or celebrities, so wasn’t...

It's not often you get to post a subject title like that...

People moving to the country and complaining about country sounds:

It is just an hour from Bern, Zurich, and Basel and is a lovely place to live for city workers who want some peace...

I'm trying to create a fairly simple Google Sheet, simple enough to match my intellect so the bar is low!

I have got everything on the sheet bar some functions or conditions that I can't work out how to do. They may not be possible.

Quick question for those that have their own company, and have a company car.

I'm getting a new car, and as an EV it makes sense to make it a company car to replace the current privately owned car.

This leads to the opaque world of no claims...

Over the road, we have a Greene King pub and restaurant. It is very useful, we have been here for 25 years, it has been here since the 1700's, our house since 1782.

Was always variable, never served good local beer until a few years ago. Current...

Anyone installed Sonoma yet? Any issues?

I know upgrading eventually is inevitable, but I'm less than whelmed by the features it introduces.

One gets the feeling that software companies are really scratching around now to deliver anything really...

My car battery guarantee runs out in a couple of months--5 years.
Just wondered what others do--buy a new one, wait till it dies or get another battery as a spare.
Last battery lasted 7 years -got a jump lead start from a mate and drove to Halfords...

The sun is shining all is right with the world. First match tonight, Friday 8.15 k.o. Kiwis v France. My support goes to the New Zealanders.

Tomorrow; England v Argentina. k.o. around 6.0pm. I'm hoping for an all singing, all dancing, out and out...

Since visiting Cambodia some years ago, I've been wanting to see this documentary about rock and roll in the 60s and 70s and how it was erased by the genocide of the Khmer Rouge. Although it's available in the USA, I can't find anywhere that is...

Seeking Forumites' immense collective wisdom :oops: :

After ~25 years in our house (occupied when new build), the bulb in the PIR sensor-triggered lamp above our garage has failed. It appears to have been incandescent, but I guess LED or halogen...

I'm playing catch up on many years of ignoring, but ultimately it's catching up as a matter of necessity. :oops:

The new washing machine is WiFi capable, I laughed at discovering it was. However I discovered the programme descriptions were easier...

I'm still, and will be for some time, in a state of disbelief. My renewal quote on the 25th inst. is almost double last year's premium.

Last year was approx. £550, this year; £860 with no explanation beyond that of 'market forces' though not in...

And I have to say it’s rather good. :wink:

YouTube seem to have finally caught up with me and now block my access unless I turn off my adblocker (AdBlock Pro, 10.3.2). This is a red line for me, albeit not so thick a line as being prepared to cough up £12.99 pcm for "premium"...

No not me, not involved in any way except my name came up, my phone number was found, and I was asked if I knew anything useful about buying a certified aircraft in South Africa and bringing it into the UK permanently to be a G reg here. An aircraft...

Gardening tidy up time, clear some scrubby areas - need some Roundup. Went to the usual retailers - nope, not for sale any more...... Did some more investigation, it is the Glyphosate that has been banned, or is in the process of being banned....

Delightful email today to inform me that my electricity price will be going up on 1 April…..rather appropriately :roll:

41.660p per day standing charge and 29.494p per kWh.

Gas has an even higher increase in percentage terms, but 27.220p per day...

We are thinking about ditching our oil fired boiler and moving to Air Source heating of some sort but have no idea of the pros and cons nor the merits of mono and split systems.

House is Victorian detached, 4 beds with rads upstairs; kitchen,...

We all have them.

Mine is:

Where did spiders live before door mirrors became a standard fit on cars?

And will the replacement of these mirrors with rearward looking cameras see our little eight-legged friends becoming extinct?

Quick question. :D

Can voice control (Sony Bravia) control HDMI input to the extent of switching channels on a Virgin Media box (or is voice control limited to inputs from the aerial)?

TIA :thumright:

What kind of mentality takes hold of someone to take a chainsaw to such a “monument” - out in the wilds doing no harm, but invigorating everyone who came across it. :(

I’m interested in what might be possible & there is a device called NFlightMic Universal Microphone for Aviation Headset , which claims it works with Bose QC25 and QC35 Noise Cancelling Headphones, plus any other consumable model.

It’s out of...

Presently the heating does not respond to the programmer, IE it switches on and off according to the room thermostat settings irrespective of whether the timer is set for the heating to be on, or indeed even when the programmer is off. The...

I'm on the verge of buying an Echo Studio. Thought I'd ask if there were any objectively better options? :D
(I'd probably have gone Sonos had there not been the issues re unnecessary obsolescence...)

Say your alternator fails and it's quite a while before you can get it changed.

Now a car battery is specced with a certain RC (reserve capacity, the time in minutes that it can deliver 25 amps before the voltage drops below 10.5v). A typical value...

Hi folks, I'd be grateful for some tips/advice, please.
