Looked at austerclub.com? Bet you have and so here’s an excuse to post another photo of a ‘3.

Do they send guys over from the UK to do the US one?
Their UK non-flying frame I think is just volunteers?
AH-SO! 🙂
CAA reg database has it as a J1N Alpha like so…

G_AHSO’s CofA expired in ’95 so not flying anymore 🙁
Pretty specialist work. Sheer wild guess, whoever does Sally B. Or Marshall’s. This assumes out-sourcing. No doubt the RAF will find somewhere to do it in-house?
Ooh, so a C or D check?
I remember being led around the hangars as a sprog when G-AMSV had it’s wings off for a check. I later lost two virgin cherries that day, 1. getting to fly and 2. first case of airsickness 😀
single engine piston
Bet plenty of local SEP GA traffic transit overhead Bed’uff though. To me, it really sounds like over cautious jobsworth advice from a rep at our dear CAA.
edit: if Spits are on CAA Permits, I think this may have been why?
Wasn’t there some rumour a while ago that the CAA were going to have proper unicom? I wonder if Janie’s gen is connected?
I think I saw that and the Norman high-wing SEP design being towed about the Coventry Air Show 2002 (date?).
Min. 1000 feet over built-up areas but you must be able to glide clear.
Here’s a picture of the week from avweb.com taken in Alaska

Makes yer sick, doesn’t it? 😀
Thanks to everyone at Atlantique for their efforts in the trying and sporty conditions.
I note using twins overcomes the CAA advice regarding single engine over built-up areas, i.e. the planned Spitfire fly-over.
Well there’s a spooky co-incidence Glyn. My aeroplane is registered G-BVFT!
Duxford is also nearer Marshalls, which could be a good thing for maintenance logitistics.
Er, is there one in the UK? SafetyCOM isn’t air-air. Gilder pilots seem to get two frequencies to gabble on, 129.975 and 130.1.
123.45 officially frowned upon though you could cheat and use 118.0!
