Flight Bag - SOLD. No self-respecting student should be without

Trust me chaps, eventually you will be using a Sainsbury bag for life or a battered old rucksack, but when you have to cart around a whizz wheel, paper chart, ruler, kneeboard, stopwatch nobody ever uses, motion discomfort bags, fifty-three different chinagraphs, your Go-Pro and a sandwich, you really do need a proper flight bag.

But, turning up at the school with a shiny bright, fresh from your chosen aviation rip-off merchant, jobbie, ruins your status as a nascent SkyGod.

Now, here is your chance to look like a grizzled veteran and help out the less fortunate (This includes the lovely Sandra, who insists I clear out all the stuff I no longer need as an ex-Sky God). Suitably time worn, a lucky survivor of fortysomething hours instruction and probably several hundred rental hours, this bag will mark you out as The Real Thing

Space for all the stuff above and at least one headset. Dozens of pocket and dividers, you will probably find a Sopwith Camel checklist in there somewhere.

The aforementioned Mrs P will doubtless spruce it up before mailing, something I maybe should have done before taking the photograph.

Twenty five British pounds, or thirty one pounds twenty five pence if you are American to encompass my newly applied, pre-emptive trade tariff . This to be donated to Aerobility by you, so that it helps along another chap or chapess on their way to a licence. I'll cover the postage to you.

First to post here gets it.

How's it all going anyway? :lol:

That bag looks remarkably similar to mine, and in much better condition.

You all may think he's joking about the Sainsbury's bag for life, but he's quite correct. My current bag's predecessor's handle broke, and I carried it around in a Sainsbury's bag for life for quite a while, until its strap broke, and I was forced to find a new home for all the never used c**p I carry around (which includes a hi-viz jacket, which I'm proud to say I've never used).

I trust @Rob P V2.0 will approve of the fact that my current bag is not an actual flight bag purchased from the aforementioned rip-off merchants - it's a conference freebie for which I paid nothing.

I just thought it was important for the forum to be aware of these fascinating details.
