Re: Southend Controlled Airspace

John,
It was always "only a matter of time" once easyJet started ops from there.

Not only day/VFR for Permit aircraft?

This was on the Flyer site today: The UK CAA has confirmed that it is engaging with the Light Aircraft Association to enable amateur-built and ex-type certified Permit aircraft – having agreed airworthiness characteristics and suitably equipped – to be relieved of their day/VFR limitation on a by-ai...

Re: The Sywell Strut is reforming - This Wednesday!

Nigel,

Pity you couldn't pay for the Club Room & get the Bar free! No problem with members then.
Good luck on Wednesday.

Woodford - not long to go

Not long to go before Woodford closes. Vistors welcome, no landing fees but PPR is essential if you wish to visit (it's also within Manhester CTR). ATC staff really helpful & welcoming. I couldn't land yesterday, as there was no fire cover, but did a few low passes & a couple of ILS approaches. As t...

The post was about the different attitudes to different pastimes that Ron made was making, nothing more. I was not objec...
