    Old Buck is £10+VAT up to 1600kg, and associate membership (which gives you free landings) is £35. I’m sure Alan will remind me of the North Weald numbers on Sunday.

    I’m hoping to get there this year, as I missed last year. AF Junior was VERY impressed with the noise Janie made in 2004……….

    Did he hear the noises Manonthefence and I made at the end? You should have been able to hear them from the ground … 😮

    I shall be along on Sunday too. By air, I hope, although I shall be driving right past North Weald to get to the aeroplane 🙂

    That poster’s been pinned to my wall for ages. I might even look at it one of these days!

    Ollie – historically gliders aren’t on the CAA register, unless they’re self-launching motor gliders, which is why G-INFO won’t show any. However EASA has changed this — all gliders being brought into the UK must now be registered with the CAA, as well as the BGA. This is also being applied retrospectively for registrations in I think the last 2 years.

    Back in I think it was the 60s glider registrations were handled by the CAA — there was one glider accident a couple of years back (the Oly 463 delamination) where the AAIB were lead investigators since the glider was unusually on a CAA registration. Then gliding was delegated to the BGA and everything generally got on with itself until EASA turned up. *sigh*

    Dai — we do have ‘regional pressure settings’ — which I guess are similar to area QNHes. An RPS is the lowest forecast MSL pressure over the area in question for the hour.

    Janie — I’d probably ask them for the pressure in millibars (or hPa, they’re the same after all), wait a moment, get the radio equivalent of shrugged shoulders and then the millibar reading.

    Some altimeters have two scales reading inches and millibars.

    This month’s Flying magazine includes a Bax Seat article that Gordon wrote back in 1989. The editor at the time recognised that it was the best possible obituary anybody could have written for him and it’s been kept back until now. It’s a wonderful piece, and I’m not ashamed to admit that my eyes were rather moist at the end.
