Light Aircraft Association

Mr Hope...... Thank you for your response. I think is a pity the LAA is unable or unwilling to publish a full listing of visiting aircraft to the rally. You state you have the information, could be published on this website, maybe?? In times gone by the PFA used to publish a souvenir supplement to t...

Please will someone advise where I can find a listing of the aircraft that visited the Rally.

Thank you.

Just as a matter of interest, what is the gender split in membership of the LAA??

Indeed, Paul..............<sigh> !!1 Everyone is wrong except T C-T.

Steve......... Thank you for information re. Bill Woodhams Trophy. I was unaware of the W.G. Armstrong Whitworth connection. Obviously one of the real pioneers of the PFA...... A sad loss. Shame the Trophy is the subject of such controversy. Would be interesting to see a list of previous recipients...

Now that made me proper larf out loud, thanks for that.

I saw nothing there to make me laugh. Well, I suppose we all have different senses of humour.

Thread drift coming up..... I have been doing some research into the origins of the Bill Woodhams Trophy. I see it was given by the family of the late Bill Woodhams who had been Director of Operations at the PFA rallies at Sywell in the 1970s . He had apparently died testing an aircraft. I have neve...

As I said, just let her take it and let’s move on. If we don’t, she has the ability and determination to bring the LAA down unless there is a more robust and intolerant approach to being bullied from the Board. Jonathon............. As I explained in my earlier post, that would be entirely wrong. J...

PLEASE, SAY WHAT YOU MEAN AND THINK. I THINK this has all got rather tedious. I MEAN to say that it’s probably just easier to give her the blasted trophy back so we can all just move on and let the LAA do what they need to do. In my view the would be weak and morally wrong. T C-T does not deserve t...

However, if enough members can recognise that the vote should not have taken place and support David Mole’s motion we can extricate ourselves without having to take sides in the argument between Tracey and Sam. You are not really seriously suggesting members should vote for this motion ?? T- C-T do...

Chris............ I do not see the necessity to bring in the changes you suggest. They seem to be unnecessarily divisive. The LAA and PFA before has always been an eclectic mix of people who have for the most part rubbed along with only minor disagreements which have been sorted out internally. One ...

This has been discussed on one of the forums and I seem to recall it was established she had been a member from around 2005/6.

Have read Richard Maxted's post. Would just point out the LAA is not unique in rescinding an award.
Many other individuals in other walks of life have been stripped of theirs honors when other information has come to light.

The votes of those present at the AGM were 17 for and 57 against the Motion. Proxy votes were 142 for and 8 against. That makes totals of 159 for the Motion and 65 against. 36 of the 'For' proxy votes were left to the discretion of the Chairman, who went with the majority. Not an unreasonable decis...
