You’re asking in the wrong place then.

Warm front moving south!

Chippie51 is spot on – whilst some CAA surveyors are sympathetic, they work in a system which does not allow that discretion now. Together with all the euro-nonsense, everyone in GA is having a tough time with the CAA while they re-establish their position as an easa outstation in aviations’ pecking order.

….there is a new woman at the CAA who is trying to make a name for herself, so hopefully it will just be ‘blip’.

If its who I think it is, she is not new to the game, and in my experience you just have to play the game to win her over. :rolleyes:

I have no vendetta against aviation. Period. It is the inane discussion of avoidable incidents and accidents which really gets my goat.

I have opinions, which others do not like, about the safe, legal and above all the common sense operation of aircraft so as they remain intact and operational, along with the pilots and the general public, so my grand children will be able to appreciate them in the future.

The aircraft I own and fly are nearly 50 years old, so not nearly ready a museum yet. I am aware of the obstructions at the end of my runway and take action accordingly, and at an unfamiliar field, a look-see often helps to identify potential hazards.

With no time on a BF109 I dont know what you can see, I suspect about the same as some other tailwheel types of which I do have some experience.

Posts on this and other forums suggest the poles were there a week beforehand and did not suddenly spring into the flightpath as SP flew over, therefore they were a known obstruction?

As for the Victor, whatever the hows/whys and wherefores, it was an illegal flight, pure and simple. Can you really tell me otherwise?

Thank you for spelling my name correctly, galdri – you are the only one whos managed it so far!

You are blaming

….
No, I am suggesting , just as other posts (including mine) suggest attempted murder and taking action clearly outside the law.

-edit: I got the phrase came from another forum anyway!

I have a jolly good idea where the wooden ‘telegraph’ pole can be relocated to….
String him up by his Kna***rs and let him dangle for a week.

Something mods should also consider before commenting & allowing public viewing?

No mention of qualification or relevant experience by Malcolm – so what do we call that?

? what do we call that then?

I always try to fly over the hedge at the end of my strip, regardless of what I’m flying.:rolleyes:
