Moving on…..

Hi BR,

I sold G-HAIR to a good mate of mine. It remains at Shotteswell.

I just wasn’t flying it enough to justify owning it – the R44 is just too convenient!

The new owner insists that I carry on flying it and I am on the insurance.

Rude not to I suppose…

Damien B and Man on the Fence took some fantastic photos of Sealand ( plus all the other Thames Estuary Forts) some time back from the original Haircraft ( now sold…) and posted them on this forum.

A memorable day!

Time for a mass attack by the Shuttlewaffe this spring perhaps? :diablo:

I’d love to see it disappear.
You can see it on the horizon from my sister-in-laws holiday flat in Felixstowe. It spoils the view. Gosh I sound like a snob.:D
And seeing it in news reports it looks even worse at close range.

From what I recall of Felixstow, I bet it’s still better than the view the other way 😉

🙁 What a shame!! End of an era!!! Wonder if UK will now pursue any form of taxation etc on the new Monarchy/owners!! Was one of the greatest 2 fingers up to the UK. It was like Radio Caroline but with firearms!!! 😀
