Over on the PPruNe thread there is a fairly repetitious demand that Ms Curtis-Taylor answer three questions about her flights. I won't repeat them here, you can look them up yourselves if interested, but I do have one question of my own. There are two motions on the agenda for the AGM both of which ...

@ David Mole, thank you for clarifying the nuanced reasoning behind your motion.

Ms Curtis-Taylor, as always there are (at least) two sides to every story. You call Rutherford an unreliable witness, he says it's the other way round. Tomato, tomaato... He does however come across as much more consistent and measured and that's persuasive. You tell us your sponsors were unconcerne...

On that, a couple of reflections: How will the Chair use "his" proxy votes this time? Last time he simply added to the majority, will it be the same again? My reading of this is that if you tick 'Against' the Chairman will, regardless of any personal preference, add your vote to the number opposing...

• You will find in the Minutes of the LAA Board of 23 September 2016 that the hostile motion was written by the Chairman. No, according to the 2016 Minutes the motion was proposed, and I presume written, by Barry Tempest. The chairman then as now was Brian Davies. Perhaps your statement refers to h...

From the documentation available online there are two motions relevant to this matter. Motion 1 by Stewart Jackson titled: The Annual General Meeting acknowledges that its resolution of October 2016 to rescind the award of the Woodhams Trophy to Tracey Curtis-Taylor was unjustified and inappropriate...

A lot of people unhappy with this going to vote with talk of leaving the LAA, perhaps a more effective protest would be to propose a vote of no confidence in the VP! I alluded to such a thing on page 2 of this thread but it is and was too late to table such a motion in time for this year's AGM. I d...

What I still don’t get is why our VP submitted the proposal. I asked before (above) and answer came there none. Miss Curtis-Taylor has the right, as a member, to propose so why not? I don't get that either Paul which makes me think Stewart Jackson is perhaps a chum of Miss Curtis-Taylor and either ...

I believe Ms Curtis-Taylor is a member of the LAA... Ms Curtis-Taylor is shown in the 'Meet Our Members' section. ...because I would hate to think someone at Turweston seriously thinks this is a good idea. Presumably Stewart Jackson does. How does one become a V-P of the LAA? Is it an elected post?...

One week later I have had to move on and have ordered a new propeller. Not an EVRA this time since a once economical prop is now a very expensive prop.

I have been in continuous membership since 1988 and was considering attending the AGM for the the first time this year that is now virtually assured.This matter was satisfactorily resolved and needs to be left behind.The association has many operational issues that need addressing and does not need...

Does anyone have one of these they would sell? Must be in good condition and have paperwork.

These drawings are no longer available as they are on their way to the LAA library.

Stuart, I wasn't even aware there was a LAA library of such things but that could be a possibility, certainly better than dumping them in the recycle bin…but…while I am passing? You have no idea how unlikely an occurrence that is. As for dropping them off at the rally my little aeroplane luggage loc...
