Re: CAA Consultation

This is a long and complex document and will take most of us some time to fully comprehend. Am I right in thinking that all the text that isn't underlined in red describes the current agreement between the CAA and LAA/BMAA? If so, at least we can begin to understand what to base our comments on. My ...

Re: LAA Insurance Scheme -Air Courtage

I have been with Visicover since they started with policies for two aircraft (one an EASA type the other is on a LAA Permit) but for next year their quote was a big increase in premiums despite my claim free record. So I filled in the LAA Air Courtege online application and within two hours had a ca...

Re: The Importance of Voting at OUR AGM .

I have conflicting views on the motions that have been put to the AGM, in one way it is simple, but au contraire highly complex. The simple question is this. If an award of the Bill Woodham Trophy was contemplated to Ms Curtis-Taylor by the LAA Board today, with all of the information about the flig...

Re: The Importance of Voting at OUR AGM .

dm, the VP is not a Board member and the Board certainly had no desire for this issue to be resurrected. In which case can someone please explain why Stewart Jackson holds himself out as both a Director and Vice President on his biog in the "Who we are" page of the Association's website? See http:/...

Re: The Times . 20/09/2018

Interestingly the descriptive quote about the LAA as "the old men’s club of British light aviation" which appeared in the online article in The Times this morning has now been edited out. I wonder why? I am concerned by Roger Hopkinson's reported suggestion in the article that the 2016 vote was "inf...

Re: Tracey Curtis-Taylor

Having read the many, many posts on various forums questioning the truth of TCT's claims to a place in the history of women in aviation I can only deduce that she has become overly complicit in the efforts of her major sponsors to exploit the flights she has been involved in to obtain worldwide publ...

Re: Good Deals!

I bought a battery conditioner about 6 years ago for my little used old MGA for£40, it works a treat and has kept the battery fully charged without me having to think about it. Bought another one earlier this year for my Condor and was surprised to find they are still the same price, and came with a...
