Re: Getting into Gliding

Thanks for the advice Nigel. I'm probably getting a bit premature thinking about owning at this stage, I'm just trying to get a big picture idea of possibilities in the long run (especially useful for convincing the wife!). I hadn't thought about a 'crash' course (oh dear!), but I do like the sound ...

Getting into Gliding

Hello all. Although I much prefer flying in something with an engine, it's probably going to be years until I can afford to even consider a PPL. Recently however, I've been seriously considering going down the gliding route, my reasoning being that I might as well be airborne in something, right? (J...

Re: new Auster at the pond

Nice work lads. Haven't had much time for flying this weekend (oh the irony of an English bank holiday!) but the few minutes I have spent in this lady have been very pleasant, well done!

Make it so!

I met Patrick Stewart last night on Grey Street in Newcastle. He shook my hand and we exchanged pleasantries and he was on his way. A very nice bloke. Apparently he is a big fan of CBFS (alright, that bit's not true, but I don't want to get into trouble for posting something that's got nothing to do...

Auster Fuel Gauge Question

Where is it? I've been in two minds whether to post this question or not. Everyone here seems to have gone Auster mad (quite rightly) and it appears we even have some folk who have flown/fly the real thing. I have a sinking feeling this is going to be one of those questions which those in the know w...
