Slink’s spot on I’m afraid.

Also bear in mind that if your family are paying then it’s for hire and reward – aerial work, which is another no-no without the relevant licence.

Of course, you can sit up front but I’d be inclined not to log it. Your instructor should be aware of all this anyway.

Regarding the whole “Warrior with 2-engines” thing, I’d be real careful. The warrior is fixed pitch, single engined, fuel injected cruising at 105 knots (if I recall). The Seneca is variable pitch, turbo-charged, twin-engined and cruises alot faster (around 160?). If you get it wrong in a Seneca, it’s a VERY different ball game. Having flown both, i know where I’m coming from! They do of course essentially came from the same stable, and have certain similarities, especially cockpit design.

Even if you don’t log the hours it will still be a great trip. I’ve not flown to Alderney, but have flown a fair amount around Jersey/Guernsey and it’s superb if the weather’s good.

Enjoy!

Was it Keyser Soze?

Apparently it was Kristen, the aforementioned sister-in-law. I think it was from a grassy knoll, the bullet coming from the side to the back, the side to the back etc. and was captured on camera at Roswell AFB, which meant she went into immediate hiding and was last seen working in a chip shop near Grimsby alongside a well-known “royal” rock and roll legend who apparently had not left the building after shooting down the Red Baron. Personally I think it was more likely to have been Woodstock the small yellow bird – he was always a better shot. 😉 :p 😀

Am I not taking this seriously enough?

Thanks Steve – how on earth can you tell that from the photo? Mightily impressed.

Seeing as noone’s guessed my 1988 picture, a few clues – it was a non-flying station in East Anglia, also had a fairly derogatory but very apt nickname.

DGH,

1985 – yep, Brize Norton

1986 – Newton.

1989 – incorrect. Thought this would be an easy one.

You got the looks summed up but wrong location. Not my most exciting camp!

The only time I won “Best Cadet” (out of 80+ on station) on a camp 😀 , and it was a flamin’ non-flying base so instead of the usual fast jet trip winners got, I received a Station Plaque and a handshake – big whoopee! 😡

I’ll see if Abingdon rings a bell with the ole man.

I certainly hope we’ll be saying “They don’t make them like they used to”! I hope we’ll have improved a bit by then. That said, I wouldn’t hold my breath that it will have even entered service by then! 😉
