Nice one OG. I have to agree that the likes of some light aircraft, e.g. the Cessna 152 do tend to make a very turgid sound, far louder than their performance would otherwise indicate! Compared that to some other high performance singles where a) the noise is lower due to slower-spinning constant-speeding props and b) their own speed carrying the noise away.

Do you hear about the military hospital early morning flights into Birmingham? The local NIMBY complained unawares and was put in his place!

Two hours is a long time in one area.
My guess goes along these lines:

i.e. one of Mel Cubley’s taking photos again to sell door-to-door.

The author of the thread lives nr Hungerford.

“corrected for temperature” I’m rather haphazard on the method.

Volare proving useful. Tooooo many questions to undergo online.

Here’s one that got me yesterday:

Why do very low level clouds form ahead of a warm front?

1. warm air moving over a cold surface
2. saturation of the warm air by rain falling into it and evaporating
3. saturation of the cold air by rain falling into it and evaporating
4. reduction of outgoing radiation due to clouds

Your short final check should include looking out for a double-decker on the road before the threshold. If you are that low to hit a passing car, the runway is either not displaced enough or you will hit the hedge twixt road and runway.

Is it me or are the russian freighters becoming ever more prevelant in UK airspace? What are they shipping? Munitions to Iraq and toys from China?

Remember the hoohar about single-engines and permit aircraft over Bedduff this time last year?

Well done to CF again. Is there a more pristine-looking Dak in Europe than G-AMPY?

Why not your submit your photo to the CAA for inclusion on the register. They still have an old photo of her in pollution colours.

Is ANAF still flying Tom? I guess the Nimrod radar trials must be well over by now?

Also from Motor Books, “Aeronautical Pubs & Inns Of Britain” by D Smith and K Ellis. Wonder if it is our Ken? That’s the sort of book research I want to do 😀

Thanks for the link. Am tempted by the Baginton plan, sad I know but it is my local airfield and where I am studying. Actaully perhaps not that sad in present company :p

I think the story mentions the mod will do away with the need for inner tubes 🙂

Expressions of interest were sought by 10 November from companies interested in conducting a landing gear modification to the flight’s Spitfire fleet, with this to value up to £500,000 ($950,000). The work will focus on the design and production of new wheels to accommodate replacement tubeless tyres, and an invitation to tender for the work will be issued in late January 2007. A total of 20 wheels in two sizes will initially be acquired to fit the single Mk IIA, Mk VB and Mk IXE Spitfires now in use, plus two MkXIXs.

You’re unholy! :diablo:

Well it transpires that the true/indicated altitude correction questions are not as hard as those we are being tested on in class. Got any decent notes on this for working stuff out?

I’m more of an aeroengineer/chart type bod.

I’d likw to know where Moggy got his. It’s the most spivvy of suits I have seen civvies wearing, except perhaps the black Ultimate High ones.

Seaplanes have hulls, floatsplanes well… they have floats attached.

I used to go sailing and the richer end of the Portsmouth student fraternity all used to pose with Oakleys on deck. The Solent has claimed many pairs of Oakleys lost overboard and many bent on deck. So I can see where the durability issues would be expensive.
