    Sorry, I can’t remember for that unit. I have seen this model though. My guess, for often this is the case for airband scanners, is BNC

    If only. I doubt we have enough skilled carpenters in this country to do the roof on another new early 20th-C. Duxford-style hangar.

    Very nice. Which Nokia?

    1 mil pixels? Hardly sporting 😉 Only kidding!

    Dear boy, that’s a HR200 (its cousins are BLUE) flown through my old club Wellesbourne Aviation. G-GORE a Streak Shadow however was built to fellow Maule owner David Gore.

    Funnily enough I have some leftover recent cutaways from Flight 😉

    Janie, I see your ILAFFT and raise the recent articles by Miles McCallum in FLYER that are very well written, informative and entertaining.

    http://www.fleetairarm.com/exhibits/planes.asp?plane=153 doesn’t say

    An even more interesting idea than Leg Ends. When RN gets the new larger carriers, will historical FAA aircraft types be able to land on them?

    I got wind short-notice that the Airshow forum was coming. But the Tutorial section is a revelation. Now we have the latter, we can post away without feeling we’re treading on historical toes. Well done who ever thought of that sub-forum!

    Now this all assumes the SVAS want extra members and the Collection doesn’t mind…

    It would be interesting, as Moggy previously mentioned, to do a costing on those remote card terminals you see in restaurants. How much would the bank charge? Would it be cheaper to say have some laptops running the internet over GPRS and have the fees paid that way? Active recruitment works well. You only need to look at how Red Bull is marketed by those girls in those cars.

    More low-tech cheaper methods relying on passing trade have been discussed.

    Now ‘ere ‘ere, the SVAS page has changed since I started this thread. There’s still a problem in that it doesn’t fully highlight what benefits a member can get (inc those for pilots!). Perhaps they can be posted here and the site remedied?

    I have to confess that I thought the membership fee was £40, which would mean I’d have to visit 3 shows to be quids in. What do you mean you can smell shellfish? :p Has the fee come down of late?

    Good this is getting fed back guys. Keep up the good work and you never know, you may have a willing volunteer in me yet.

    P.S. Nice Fergy by the way. Could we have a mini-historic tractor forum for those hiding in the closet? 😀

    Moggy, Melvyn is indeed correct. Mitigation does not appear to be recognised in the FCL rules.

    http://www.wellaviate.co.uk/html/gofly/jarreval.htm explains what Dean has to do.

    Quote: “…You only need to undertake a proficiency check with an examiner, which is a test like a club checkout with the usual stalls, steep turns, EFATOs, PFLs etc. It is not a full GFT but there is a pass or fail mark given.” If you are current, the voluntary pre-training part could be gotten away with.

    What the above guide does not say is to change clubs! If the hitler on the desk loses the business money, it’s up to the owner to figure out why she can’t organise herself and sort the situation out. You could try reasoning with the latter or indeed the CFI, or just walk. SEP in thise case means “someone else’s problem”!

    Whereabouts are you based Dean?

    Aha…. I’ve just remembered a tip Hairyplane told me. Shoot through a lady’s stocking. Never tried it myself but sounds interesting, esp. if you have to remove before use! 😀

    I would personally love to see more of the same, namely general airfield action in OW photos, which includes people! For example, to see Dodge or Airbedane looking over the aircraft would add atmosphere to a collection of shots..
