    Some of the owners are resisting because in the case of an Auster operated for reward the CAA regulations are clear. The PFA option means restrictions on the type of usage and in some cases on whether the machine can be operated abroad from memory.

    It is possible to fly abroad with a Permit aeroplane – many do – subject to advance permissions, which are usually a formality.

    I wonder how many of the other restrictions such as the inability to fly at night, in instrument conditions, or for hire and reward, apply to any Auster owners today.

    For me, the benefits of owner maintenance and lower cost make flying a permit aeroplane of this type the preferable option.

    I cannot tell a lie. I showed the BBC East producer the thread when we were filming our stuff on ‘Biggles Biplane’.

    Given Martin Friend and David Whiteley’s enthusiasm for things aerial in the BBC East region, it should be worth watching!

    (If you’re not in the BBC East region and have a wok on the wall, it should be watchable on one of the Sky channels 940-something I think).

    Way to go 🙂 Didn’t the PFA used to hold a rally at Sywell? First rate idea if they did again. Small, well-attended fly-in set within good surroundings.

    Trouble is, since then a lot of PFA folk have built ‘plastic fantastic’ aeroplanes with teeny little wheels and the need for half a mile of tarmac – which Sywell currently lacks.

    Mind you, plenty of scope for a PFA “old-timers” fly-in at Sywell. Not to mention the VAC fly-in on Saturday 28th!

    Thank heaven both pilots will fly again. Despite the comments regarding light weight, high drag, low speed etc, I certainly wouldn’t want to have been in there!

    Its a salutary remnder of how poor the visibility is in biplanes and triplanes of the era. And ten out of ten to the triplane pilot who seemed to make a safe landing although no doubt with a broken prop, the engine was trying to shake itself out of the airframe!
