Mornington Crescent!

Mark12, that’s the most blatant game of Fool’s Crescent I’ve seen.

Marble Arch.

Great to see some old and new faces. It’s a shame I couldn’t come in Biju, but she’d have been frightened by the wind and the showers.

Old warden, Tempsford, Cranfied, RAF Henlow, Great Gransden, errrrrrrr im sure there are others but i cant think of any more right now.

Little Gransden isn’t far away either, and is usable by GA without paying silly landing & handling fees, but don’t even think about getting any fuel there unless the situation’s changed recently. (Given that it’s NOTAMed as being unlicensed for the time being I doubt it.)

Great Gransden? You’re probably thinking Gransden Lodge, which is now used for gliding, and you won’t be allowed to land there (planning restrictions). Tempsford’s disused and best avoided.

I remember one chap who one summer landed a Cessna at Gransden Lodge while we were launching the competition grid absolutely convinced that it was Bourn. We didn’t let him go until the comp day had finished, and needless to say we didn’t sign his cross-country certificate either.

So far my excuses for not flying this year have been:

1. The weather has been rubbish.
2. If the weather’s good, I’m in France.
3. If the weather’s good, and I’m not in France, we’re working on the ‘plane.
4. This excuse affects us all, but we don’t talk about it and it doesn’t stop most of us anyway.

Number 2 does mean that *airline* are getting lots of money out of the company, but this doesn’t benefit me that much 🙁

And anyway, one needs to be careful publicising Emeraude landings …

No Discovery Wings for me unfortunately 🙁

Keep that tape please 🙂

When you ask them how much it’ll cost, add 25-30% to the figure they give you. Then assume it’ll be at least much.

But whats the title?

I didn’t need to know the title to do the search. I did know the author’s name.
