Miserable in Norfolk? It’s nice in Cambridgeshire – weather is a funny thing isn’t it?!
Good luck for the solo BeeBee – whenever it may be!
Always sad to hear about stories like this 🙁
All this badger talk has made me really fancy some mazipan – wish I had a battenburg handy!
Very strange.
Tell me how mad a bag of bagers are and then I can compare 😉
Unfortunately I don’t speak from experience but I hear they do a great breakfast at Wellesbourne. Anybody have experience in such areas? Is it worth the trip?!
Ahem!
That wasn’t actually a serious suggestion.
Now where did they put those ‘This is a joke’ smileys?

Blame my blonde hair if you like, but you had me going there for a minute… and it was a very scary minute!

Congratulations! Sounds scary but clearly has great potential. Hope it goes well for you. And if you ever need a lawyer…….. I finish law school in 2007 😀

Retesting in cars? That would be a disaster – I wouldn’t pass now – never mind when I’m 80. A very scary thought indeed!
Can’t see why an NPPL student needs any difference in terms of legislation from a conventional PPL. Training in an airworthy aircraft that they own should be available to both

I know – it’s crazy. But the when the NPPL came out there were whisperings of such possibilities and even NPPL instructors who were only PPLs. I suppose it’s because our current PPL is regulated by JAR/EASA whereas our NPPL is regulated internally so we could get away with more. Please correct me if I’m wrong though – I’m just guessing.
Oooo ok! I’m with you now. (at last!) I would actually go to the other extreme and argue that it should be possible to train for an NPPL at an unlicensed aerodrome using your own (permit) aeroplane. I heard a while ago that such plans were being suggested but it all seems to have gone quite on that front now – seems like they have abandoned the idea of encouraging light aviation now and just want it gone. A great shame – I’m beginning to think we should all move to France!
Could you expand a bit on that – I’m not entirely sure what the issue is. Maybe it’s me being over-tired – please be patient!!!
Thanks
Well, maybe you shouldn’t be posting photos of other people’s aeroplanes all over the web then.
That is certainly a very nice looking Pitts Neal. Is it yours?
Sounds good – I would love to get a chance to use flying to help others. Whilst sobering, I can fully understand that it would have been very satisfying.
