  1. I looked at one which was for sale and based at Truro Flats , whilst there was plenty of room for a large pilot, the rear seat passenger would have difficulty in exiting the aircraft if in an accident where the pilot was incapacitated. Alan.
  2. During my lifetime I have had a keen interest in both boats and aeroplanes and owned more than a handful of both, my first boat being owned at eight years of age. I have built several boats but never built an aircraft although I have owned several homebuilts. It must be that I am more of a wood worker that a metal worker. Alan.
  3. Hi Jerry I'll take you up on that offer. I shall be taking off tomorrow morning in my Supa Pup ultralight aircraft from Adelaide South Australia and will be arriving at Dunkswell at 2pm on the 28th October. I will be on my way to Guernsey in the Channel Islands from whence I was deported to Australia in 1970 for having a very warped sense of humour. Welcome to our forum Alan.
  4. Hi Richard, aircraft is looking good, it was built by my Son at Gawler in South Australia. Alan.

  6. Also managed to land with full fuel tanks Alan.
  7. Not trying to be funny here but presume you mean't..... Great to hear. Love their aircraft, keep us posted. Alan.
  8. It's like a lot of things in life, if you have the right attitude all is well. Alan.
  9. I saw the film and was disappointed at the lack of boats which were used to rescue the troops from the beach. I would have thought that many small boats would have volunteered to be in the film free of charge, even if it was only a few aerial shots. Alan.
  10. An insurance company trying to reduce Soaring insurance premiums. Alan
  11. Sorry I can't help you on the Jabiru but there will be many who can help you on this forum. Alan.
  12. Once you have purchased your aircraft of choice you'll have to change your name to 'Happy' Alan.
  13. Reminds me of a story a work friend of mind told me several years ago. He was serving in the Navy on an aircraft carrier (Cannot remember which one) in the English Channel when three Belgian Stampe aircraft (similar to a Tiger Moth) visited the ship. The carrier was heading into a head wind with the ship's speed over 30 knots which combined was in excess of the stalling speed of the Stampes, they had to slow the ship down so they could land. I forgot to ask him what they did for take off. Alan.
  14. So there will be a door prize for the hangar dinner, I could be interested in that. What size door is it and can it be shipped to Truro Flats.??? Alan.
  15. My wife does that to me when she flies off the handle sometimes. Alan.
  16. Getting in is no problem, that's what the fence is for, it's getting out that's the problem.... it's a way of adding to Flyerme's aircraft collection. . Alan.
  17. The only one I remember is TTFN.....I wonder if any youngsters know that one. Alan
  18. Really enjoyed the video as it reminds me of the time when my family flew to Australia back in 1970 in the full size version. A beautiful aircraft indeed. Alan.
  19. Absolutely correct, I know because I saw it all happen with my own eyes in the movie. . Alan.
  20. I know this is off topic but interesting anyway. Like you Phil as an air cadet at 16 yrs of age I flew in a RAF Meteor mk7 out of RAF Odiham. I flew it myself for 20 minutes at 10,000 ft. The pilot advised me that a few Hawker Hunters were also getting airborne and often engaged the Meteors in a dog fight, however, lucky for me they didn't or I would have been throwing up also. Alan.
  21. It's a pity some of these plus a few Hurricans were not still around for the movie Dunkirk. Alan.
  22. Easy to interpret incorrectly, it actually means that there is no charge for the asbestos content. Alan.
  23. That's not a near miss, it's some super hero trying to rescue some guy with his head in the clouds. Alan.
