Re: National Licensing and Medical Exemptions expire on Wednesday 8 April 2020
I did email the DFT about the NPPL SSEA to LAPL debacle, asking them why it was changed and asking them to look at it again giving all the reasons why the conversion shouldn't take 20 hrs further training. I got the usual reply telling me the regulation and not the reason it was changed, nor that th...

Re: Why do so many VP-1's fall into disuse?
Agree with Nic.
This is a really good thread and lots of good information. Well done to the contributors. And also the original poster for his efforts to resurrect his project.

Re: Why do so many VP-1's fall into disuse?
I may have misinterpreted Michael's post. The Veep I flew was G-BAPP. it has a 1834 VW, Canopy and Turtledeck. Probably the sleekest VP1 around. With a genuine cruise of 90 mph+ and 1 1/2 hrs with a bit of reserves, was a cracking little aircraft. I thought is was great fun and would jump at the cha...

Re: Why do so many VP-1's fall into disuse?
Contentious I know, but there are lots of VP1s out there that are out of permit, not broken. Why not look at buying one of those poor hangar queen's, find an inspector and work with him to resurrect it? That way you will have worked on one and also flown one. As you aren't particularly patient, why ...

Re: Why do so many VP-1's fall into disuse?
I'm sure Chris will be along very soon, but as someone who has flown VP1s for a few hours, my twopennorth for what it's worth. Cheap as chips to fly. Great fun on a summers evening. Fairly docile to fly Ailerons need lots of help with the rudder Limited range. Limited in pilot size/weight Easy to ma...

A Yorkshire man would just about be thinking of putting long trousers on and buttoning up his polo shirt at this time of year.

Re: Bill Woodhams Trophy
I can't disagree Mike. The bloke has flown what most of us dream of, but do understand the reticence of the LAA.
The awards committee were unfairly treated over Thingie's antics and sadly this may have had a knock on effect.
