Will it be for leisure flying? You could always go for the NPPL as thats 10hrs shorter than the PPL. You cant fly abroad with an NPPL though.

I have my PPL (but plan to go commercial) and i’ve flown the C150 aerobat and normal, C152, 3 variants of the C172 and the PA38 Tomahawk.

🙁

Iranair B747SP’s are fairly frequent visitors to LHR.
I photographed one last year. 🙂

Thats sad news. RIP.
Will be interesting to find out what went wrong there.

If you go to the BBMF website you can download their display/flypast timetable.

Nice 🙂
G-RIPA looks good.

Before making comments about what happened to the plane just wait for the AAIB to release their report on the accident.

How is flying a banner from a helicopter unsafe? If I remember correctly the banner towing with a helicopter is normally done with a Cabair helicopter and as cabair is a big Flight Training Organisation im sure they wouldnt do it if they thought it was ridiculously unsafe and im sure the pilot wouldnt either.
