Thanks Tony :)
Very nice aircraft you have there. I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Popham and everyone was friendly and helpful. I wish my home airfield had the same 'feel' to it.

As the LAA are a delegated authority from the CAA, they must have a documented process for Inspector approvals? Could they have too many inspectors? I would have thought they would actively encourag...
