Well done Matthew.

Try Woolies who supply trim for vintage cars.

It's a 60% scale Spitfire of all wood construction and it made the Daily Telegraph yesterday. He thoroughly deserved to be the first winner of The Prince Michael of Kent Trophy for best aircraft at this year's Rally and he's a delightful chap to boot.

For those building a wooden aircraft, or contemplating doing so, B&Q have a speciall offer on compound angle saw bench on tubular legs - £130. It even has a dust collection bag.

Alan, Many thanks for your excellent post. I thoroughly enjoy the Rally and am most grateful to Brian, Ian, Nigel and Penny (yes, she does a great deal to make it all go so well). I also agree that we have a brilliant magazine and have told Brian so on a few occasions. As for the awards saga, I'm on...

The reality is that flying is rather expensive and hence most pilots are in the age group where the kids have flown the nest.

Best wishes,

Harry

Well done you. Happy landings and best wishes,

Harry Hopkins

Harry

Our house magazine just gets better and better. Congratulations Brian. IMHO 12 issues are worth most, if not all, an LAA member's subscription. if you agree, please tell your non-LAA aviation friends. If you don't keep your copy once you've read it, leave it in the doctor's or dentist's waiting room...

Gentlemen, I'm sure the CEO will read your comments when he returns from leave next week but clearlyit's too late for your desire for narrative comments for this survey. However, you still have 4 other ways of getting your message heard: 1. By putting them on this forum; 2. By emailing, or writing t...
