    They key to folding is this. **Leave a gap** Do not make your folds exactly 50% otherwise everything then bunches up.

    I fold in quarters.

    Moggy, “Fledg” is being rude. 😮 😀

    Maule have been going forever and positively trade on their ancestry, even if it is a typically run family business 😉 Nothing to be ashamed of if you can turn it to your advantage.

    They shouldn’t allow women under the age of 24 to post on here. 😉

    Though sharing a name with a popular light aircraft, I know him not to be “Blue” :p

    Now, now let’s not get clique! 😉 😀

    I think someone has nicked Moggy and made him into a figurehead or bust as on a ship. Every Chippy should have one.

    Looks like home to me too! That’s a nice blue Robin…

    Have fun. Wellesbourne is a great airfield to learn at and Tom’s clan are good guys.

    Waterford seemed to have a half-decent yet small set up when I was there last year.

    You log airborne time. I’m not always a rule quoter so can’t give you a source (sorry). It’s probably an ANO thing.

    We used to have an ATPL desparado who hung around the club when I was learning who jumped in an aeroplane when it needed refuelling then logged a free 10 mins per “trip” into his log book. Naughty!

    With these stores, do you make a point of turning up in person or order online then hope for the best?

    Yup I have AJ. Janet (my optometrist) and I faffed about all one afternoon recently finding that one brand were too narrow but vision was okay but second brand fitted better but left me vidually cross-eyed (worse than natural). Lot of effort for little gain on both sides. 🙁

    How much more than standard issue were they?

    RAF Evesham to some!

    This was also where **** Strawbridge did that subsequent series “Crafty Tricks of War” on invention and engineering.

    It’s not Southam, it was at Stoneythorpe Hall 😉

    The Courier article was typical of all tabloid press covering a forced landing. “Missed a group of playing school children by 30 minutes” Wow! If the pilot had seen any mass of people this would have affected where to land – self-preservation and preservation of others takes priority.

    Glad all are okay.

    The question is though why did the Gipsy shed its prop?
