    Mark V, agreed, you haven’t mentioned anything about gossip and rumours, others have.

    Merlin 70, Well said.

    It was hangared and operating out of Norwich two or three weeks ago.

    Given the landing fees there 😮 I can assume this was only temporary.

    One can only wonder how 5 flying schools and 30 or so private owners manage to operate there. Those with accounts, which anyone can get, based or not pay between £8 and £15 depending on weight :rolleyes:

    Very dark blue, almost black. From someone who worked there in those days.

    Well that told you DBW, you naughty boy.

    As an aside BR, other members on other fora here do exactly what you have highlighted above yet they are allowed to get away with it.
    It’s been raised before, but then I guess if you’re not ‘in’ then you’re ‘out’…..

    Keep smiling…

    😀

    Good point, all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

    I would tell you where that quote comes from but I’m into cloak and dagger stuff…….

    It will be worth the wait, many think a book could be written about the antics of Mr P but it may be used against him in court! Some of the funniest things I’ve seen have involved him.

    According to the CAA website Rob Lamplough’s mark 8 is showing a potential change of ownership in progress and the silver mark 14 RN201 is now registered to Spitfire ltd in Jersey. Have they been sold as well?

    While you are at it ask him about his modelling career for a ‘happy’ artist who was producing T-shirts for a now defunct Norwich shop and also his short field Yak landing at Swanton……

    And I always thought he was such a quiet, decent and humble chap. 🙂

    😀 😀 😀 😀 I hate to think what he’s mentoring in, bet it’s not flying!

    Ask him about the Adolf £200 bet, go on I dare you!

    From my recollection the 150 has a capacity of 88 litres with 85 useable,

    98 capacity, 85 useable.

    Dave B: Is this the same DP with whom I am aquainted?

    Yes

    Ah yes the ex-sister in law with the leather pants who didn’t feel the groping by all accounts!

    He did like chasing pussies so Moggy had better watch out!

    Not forgeting the spangly shirts on Millenium eve which Mr DP and fries were wearing when they were accosted by ‘batters for the other team’ in the night clubs gents and had to be rescued!

    C152 owner: I flew it for 4 hours and only put 66 litres of fuel in, and it has 100 litre tanks.
    Other pilot: 100 litre tanks, are you sure?
    C152 owner: Yes is says 100LL on the filler.

    Blimey, 3.6 imperial gallons per hour! what a frugal C152, I want one.

    It is amazing that he hadn’t ended up in a field through fuel exhaustion. And yes, he was put straight about his mistake.

    With the known capacuty of a C152 against what was put in (66 ltrs), he still had a good hours fuel on board so would have been really unlucky to fall in a field.

    Funniest thing?? More like most frightening thing!!!!

    He should have a mentor like Mr DP…….

    Now that is frightening, although the only time I’ve seen Mr DP in a field was when he blew up a diesel car and fell in a stinging nettle filled ditch as he was legging it! Or there was the Gemma jail bait incident of course……..

    Yep, sorry, I’m pretty sure it was Coltishall.
