Light Aircraft Association

I have this great hobby y'know. There's a clue in the top right of the page wot it is ... 8) You can see me flying solo . It's very satisfying and I thoroughly recommend it ! Y’know what though? Whatever the outcome of the vote we’ll still be able to bimble around somewhere near the bottom of the a...

I agree wholeheartedly with the last few posts, this should not be allowed to succeed simply because the majority of the membership have not heard the ‘No’ side of the story and seen the evidence. Mind you, if the proposal were to wobble through on this basis what would there be to prevent a proposa...

You and many others Alan. My most charitable take on this is that TCT, her lawyer and PR company have probably been hounding our Board since 2016. The latter may have taken the view that the one way to settle this once and for all is another vote and I can sort of see why they might think this (desp...

I know of no grassy knolls, film lots for moon landings or chip shops where Elvis works. This is a squabble over a trophy, not the planning of a coup d'état. Let's at least try and maintain a sense of reality. Pleased to hear it Brian although if we take a step back we find that it is TCT’s associa...

I believe the idiom must be - we are cool. In your case Brian that was never in doubt. :D It is becoming clear to me that some serious money and effort is being put into this by TCT and those taking her side, the upcoming film of hers must be desperate to turn this around and avoid adverse publicit...

Chris, your last two paragraphs echo my concern, for how long can we expect to be subjected to such nonsense? I believe Ms Curtis-Taylor is a member of the LAA (I may be wrong)? Why then is she so intent on antagonising her fellow members or, if not a member herself, members of an association who ha...

Hi Brian Thanks for the reply. I understand the rules but in this instance we're going back over old ground, unless of course there's something we the membership have not been told. And I'll be honest with you, I've heard from several sources that there is more to this. If what I've heard is true th...

Several of us have asked here (rhetorically) why this has been brought up again but on another forum the question has been raised more directly. So I'll ask it here. If we are going to be subjected to this farce then I think we should be told why. Why has this been raised? Why is the proposal being ...

That being the case then someone has sorely misjudged the mood of the membership. Whatever the outcome this will create division between members and the board. Goodwill is going to be lost, certainly mine. Why are the LAA allowing themselves to be hijacked for the purposes of promoting a commercial ...

Not this again......... The matter was closed two years ago. The membership considered the facts, a vote was taken, the membership gave their answer. That should be the end of it. Instead we are now being asked to reverse that democratic decision, coincidentally at the time when a film is about to b...

Paperwork posted Thursday 21st, new Permit (dated 22nd) received Saturday 23rd.

That's excellent. Thanks folks.

Now sold.

General aviation is already struggling to attract and/or retain pilots. Telling them they need to shell out for more equipment might be the last nail, even if it is 'just' a tin-tack, in the coffin for some. GA is a broad church from the well off to those who struggle to meet their minimum flying ho...

Well nobody saw that one coming.
