It depends whether or not there is a fly-in to go to doesn't it. We're not exactly spoiled for choice this time of year. A tenner not making much difference? It's better as fuel in my tank for another half an hour's flying than in somebody else's pocket I think. I suppose so. Except that if the "ot...

I'm not sure that ten quid or so makes enough difference in the grand scheme of things to choose another airfield over an organised fly-in.

They're an "excuse" not a "reason" to go somewhere in my book! A fly-in is a better excuse still...

Hiya,

I'm here. Been a bit manic at work so I haven't got around to setting anything up to trial run yet, but I haven't forgotton it.

I saw a repeat of that not long before joining. ae me very thoughtful

I see fly-ins as an excuse to fly somewhere new, so would favour somewhere different to "the usual" events.

Leia, Get some good practice in close to home, have a chat with the boys on the little grass strip opposite Margam Abbey. 350 M one way only down hill out, uphill land quite exhilerating!The yellow Zenair that used to be in Swansea is based there, if you want a contact No PM me. I keep meaning to h...

Leia, getting it in is not the problem ------------ my old mate always got in there, getting it out was always his problem (a Zenair 601 hds) Without looking at the numbers I'm pretty sure I usually use less to get out than in. With only scrawny me aboard anyway. That might, of course, have more to...

Captin P has offered us the use of a strip near Hailsham – which is almost as far south as you can get. Looks nice, 400m etc (Deanland). My only concern is it may be too far south? Opinions please? Would like to come but too timid to try and get into 400 metres in the tommyhawk. One for you guys wi...

Holdover from earlier internet terminology I think.

I'd have thought most users would recognise bulletin board/forum/newsgroup as broadly synonymous.

Ought to be easy with an API for something like Google Maps or Maps Live. Not sure what the API is for? It was quite simple (although time consuming) to enter a few postcodes into google so that they appear as pins which open out giving details of the inspector. Google Maps LAA Inspectors test I wa...

How did it go? Sounded interesting (especially as I recently managed to get myself in a spot of bother navigating badly with GPS) but the wrong end of the paymonth for me to bounce up to Bristol unfortunately.

Try right clicking on the link to the page you want to bookmark and select Open in new window (or new tab). The resulting apge should ahve the full URL displ...

Steve, nope sorry, my comment was addressed to Mike, as to why the security settings on the browser were making the site not work. Because the site says it's at laa.uk.com, but stuff is actually loading from lightaircraftassociation.co.uk some over enthusiastic browser / security settings appear to ...
