Reading on the BBC this morning about the chain of people involved in transfers and how they operate, the problem appears to be more with football than aviation (not that there does not seem to be significant aviation fault as well).

Odd, the deafening silence for many years,when jockeys, footballers and motor-racers (among others) have availed themselves of airborne "lifts" to/from their professional engagements. I dare say the silence would have continued, had the Sala trip completed successfully.
Meanwhile, I feel for the poor woman who's not only lost a son on the cusp of an international career, but also lost her companion and partner, -her husband.

Has anyone noticed that the current Banner advert above this thread includes one inviting us to visit Alderney? Doesn’t sound terribly welcoming to pilots at the current time.

What is unwelcoming!??

You must be getting different adverts, I haven't seen anything advertising about Alderney.

AFAIK the only problem with Alderney is that the grass runway isn't back in service yet and they have had a few issues with ATC staffing so it's been necessary to pick your time with a bit more care...

Always a great place to visit - we popped up for a walk and lunch just the other week...

I always look out N2923N it was trip to Alderney in that with GS that got me into flying 20 years ago

we bought 23N from Geoff and I remember a trip to Weston when he found 23N when he was flying his next aircraft and got the handlers to shuffle everything around so he could get photos of them next to each other.
Sorry we couldn't catch up with you and Mark due to wx last time - definitely need to catch up in future over there...

I have been in correspondence with Dominic Lazarus and have been able to reassure myself that legit cost sharing flights under EASA rules are not a problem.

@johnm , any chance we might get a public statement to that effect from Mr Lazarus ?
