    Moving by road is far less expensive. To fly it in, it would need to be made airworthy for the ferry flight; including weight and balance. Add to this insurance, fuel and cost of paperwork 😮 . To do a proper spray job all the control surfaces would need to be removed, plus other sundry bits and pieces. After spraying, weight and balance has to be done again when fully assembled then inspected again. Yes; cheaper by road. They could have bubble-wrapped it I suppose. 😎

    Last aircraft I flew – rather than flew in – was a Cessna 150, previously I,ve only flown C152, C172 and Tiger Moth. Something new on the books soon though. 😀

    Pity the same could not be said for Turweston where they were having to turn people away because of the planning restrictions. 😡

    Hi Joe

    …So where can I buy a Pilot Logbook?

    Bristol Flying Centre should have one.

    Enjoy it but remember it is addictive. :rolleyes:

    WARNING

    All volunteers beware – be careful not to be taken for granted. I speak from many years experience.

    First flight was in a Hastings – Blackbush 23rd October 1953 at 01:30 on route to Fayid in the canal zone. First aircraft I sat in was a Me109 – Victoria railway station forecourt Southend-on-Sea sometime in the early ’40’s

    What everyone is missing out on here is

    Oh, and the aircraft must be PFA friendly.

    I saw nothing out of the ordinary either. Some of the crews operate out of smaller strips and are used to such departures. I also think that maybe you underestimate the power of some of the older machines too.

    Hence my posting:
    It would be interesting to know what types of aircraft were involved.

    I agree with John C. What is the point in knowing the hight of an a/c in the flying attitude – unless you are flying under low bridges :rolleyes:

    Is it useful to know that when flying at 2000′ hight, the tip of the fin is at 2005′ ?? 😀 (or something like that, depending where the pitot head is located) :confused:

    Long live ‘PY 🙂

    My drawings, in general, show the published height :confused: as the highest point on the airframe (not propellor) with the tail wheel on the ground. However I also have drawings that show the height with the fuselage datum horizontal.
