Not sure about this Steve

I’m usually on the CAA’s side when it comes to rules and regs, but this one seems a bit odd.

It is an interesting fact that your bog/basic Lycoming generally runs for about 2000 hours life, then even possibly an extension of another 200 in flying school aircraft, whereas the average single-owner or small group aircraft seldom reaches beyond 1,000 hours before needing fundamental work.

I e-mailed him a couple of weeks ago asking why he had been taken off of the Classic Jet Airshow list and his reply was “fingers crossed i may be back on for Kemble”.

So the CAA are now insisting on TBO’s based on calendar time as opposed to hourly time? When did that come about? What’s the general reaction to that in warbird world? Surely if an engine’s been maintained but not run for a year it’s got to be in better nick than one which has been frequently run during the same period?

I love the paint job on this hunter hope to see it flying again soon.

Cheers Damien. Will Jonathon be displaying anything this year? i.e. the other Delta Hunters for instance.
