Keep up the pressure ladies and gents. I emailed my MP last week and he’s replied to say he’s written to the Transport Secretary. He’ll let me know when he gets a reply, and in the unlikely event that the secretary says anything useful I’ll let you know.
Blair’s “rant” yesterday about EU regulation just may indicate that this issue (along with doubtless many others) is reaching those who may have the will to do something about it. And if the French do say “Non” at le weekend, who knows…..

What if it was put on the US registry & got a N number?
as the legislation currently stands I believe it applies to any a/c operating in UK FIR..
well I hope they can come up with a way of sorting this out.. I’m not sure how they can ‘exempt’ Sally B though and still keep the legislation in place for other a/c – you would assume that the figure decided upon for minimum insurance was some kind of estimate/expectation of the damage that may be caused by an a/c of that size…so it doesnt matter how often it flys as that doesnt lessen the claim?? should obviously influence the premium though… I wonder if the 3rd part liability for that weight group has been bumped up in the expectation that there would pax. involved, so maybe a get-out there..

Whats happening then? Even though i’ve only ever been to one airshow i still think it’s a great shame Sally B has been grounded, i’ll never forget the day when as a child i heard a huge roar and Sally B came straight over my house, very low!
