Just a note for any folk who can get over to Turweston on Friday afternoon, 24 September, for the PFA Engineering “AT HOME”.
This is the fourth in the series and it offers a chance to chat informally to Andrew, Francis and John along with those stalwarts from the PFA staff inspectors about anything that takes your fancy on the airworthiness side.
At 1700 or thereabouts there will be a talk by BARRY TEMPEST on his experiences over thirty odd years of testing PFA types for prototype, initial, envelope extension and renewal of their Permits to Fly. It will include an interesting cross-section of types from the Luton Minor to the Great Lakes 2T1, from the VP1 to the Pulsar and from the Nipper to the Pitts series. There will be time for questions afterwards.
Hope you can make it.
Cheers,
Trapper 69

Barry Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. No, John is still intact as far as I know in the wedding gear region but is currently suffering from a dreadful cold, cough, throat and general yurgie. Helen is her lovely self and coming to the end of a fantastic but knackering season with the Utt Butt’s. Finally I am recuperating after an unprecedented avalanche of electronic responses to EASA, EUROCONTROL and the EU in respect of consultation on measures surely designed to put general aviation out of the aviation business. The latest is the CAA position paper on SES that, in the charging scheme area, makes no reference to GA at all. This totally ignores the fact that, at the moment, GA aircraft grossly outnumber CAT (commercial air transport -you know, Aircoach and Boinggggg thingies that chuck out more greenhouse gases than the worlds f**ting bovine population does). Ah well, tempus fugit and I have to get off to the Sywell airshow press day in the rain.
Cheers,
