Strut still exists. Next meeting 24 June 2010
The next meeting of the NW London and Herts strut will be 24 June 2010. We have Alan Turney providing an evening on vintage aircraft and I would also like to offer a quick talk on flying to Germany for anybody who has not yet crossed the channel. 19:30 is the time at the Elstree Aeroclub. Cheers, Ke...

Hello Brian, Despite the sarcastic comments above the strut does exist and has been meeting with varying reliability every two months as it is suppost to. Contact details I believe are on the LAA web site for the struts and you can PM me if you need more information. Not sure what you mean by last p...

Dutch mil win most friendly and helpful award.
I can concur, was in Holland in May and also in June (last weekend). Im May asked Dutch Mil if it was ok for me to remain at 3000ft when I carossed into their airspace and the reply was no problem. I got clearance all the way to Seppe. Last weekend crossed parts of Holland also at 2-3000 ft with no ...

Well JC, We held a fantastic flyinn at Elstree last year with about 50 aircraft comming and a really fun day for all. In the end I guess about 70 people made the effort to come along. When I put a suggestion up on your BB flyinns you rather ignored me and instead posted here that you have no respons...

Not all of us have a NPPL, I have a JAA so I am permitted to fly to Ireland although I do understand that not having NPPL would reduce the numbers somewhat. What a shame the IAA is being so strict and what a shame for the goodwill and the local charities that would benefit especially in these tough ...

I can put together a flyinn at Elstree if you like. The last two seemed to work just fine but I would like a good idea of a theme? I went to a taco flyinn in the USA last year and a hotdog flyinn in Wisconson just after that but when I suggested these I got a totally lukewarm response and somebody r...

No not a joke, we tried with the devon strut out at Belle vue farm one summers day and I can promise you that I cannot get into these aircraft. I am 120 kilo and 200cm tall, or 6'7" if you prefer. There is no way for me to curl up into such a small ball to get into taylor craft, aeronica (chief) and...

It seems none of them are going to include it in the rental, looks that you have to go to a external company like AOPA to buy a whole years worth. I think this little jolly of occasionaly hiring and flying in the good ol USA is comming to an end. I am wondering if next time I hire a car in the USA i...

Is renters insurance really ok in USA?
Ok, got my FAA with English proficiant on the back but all FBO's that I have found seem to want renters insurance now to cover any incidents. A few years back this was not the case, seems to be a new thing. I think it was included in the rental last time. But, when I look at the AOPA site I am direc...

Insure and go!!
I use insure and go, I have to ring them every time I want to rent but the prices per day are something like £1.50 for Europe and £3.00 for the USA. The cost of the basic travel insurance is about £60 for a year for a family and I just add on the days as I need them. For some strange reason Virgin t...
