Polardroid

BRRRRRRRRRRRRR !I really wouldn't fancy the job of de-icing that for a couple of quick circuits mate. . . . .

 

I now MUCH prefer warmer climes,. . . .living, as I do, in central UK, that doesn't often happen and we must've blinked and missed the summer this year,. . .now the dark evenings are drawing in, it's dark at around 1900 GMT now,. . . so we now have to look firward to not much aviation, and torches with all the batteries flat from last winter. . . . . . .

 

Great Pic though,. . .must post some more Antarctic stuff. . please. . .

Sounds like marriage!Welcome Polardroid. I second Phil's request, some Antarctic pics would be fantastic when you have time.

Welcome mate

My only "sporting" interest is F1 but about once every 5 years I watch some big golf tournament on the telly. I don't even know the rules of rugby....

Flippin 'eck,. . . .a Swede with a sense of humour. . . .you get all sorts on here doncha. . . .Anyway cobber, I like the "Handle" Polardroid,. . . .bet there's a story behind that,. . . but I'd keep tham all in suspense before revealing all mate. . .

 

Right bunch of noseys here . . . . er,. . .do they play Rugby in Sweden I wonder ?

 

Phil

He's too busy drinking beer and shagging birds, I imagine

Odd that,. . .and quite a coincidence Mike,. . . .I was in Rotherham quite recently, but I didn't stop,. . . .well,. . .that's not STRICTLY true,. . . I was coming back from Scotalnd, and I called in for fuel,. . I was a bit tired and I asked the lady behind the counter, if she knew of a local motel,. . .she said that there WAS one not far down the road, but she said "Lock yer door mate, . . .the owner's a ravin Poofta . . . name of E.J Recklam or summat,. . ." SO I had a couple of NoDoze pills and went straight home.Anyway mate,. . . welcome to the madhouse, there are some really nice people on here,. . ( so I was told, but all I get is cruel, visceral abuse )

 

Cheers,

Hello All,

I've been getting severe ear ache from a couple of people here, encouraging me to join up - though I thought that, as a not active pilot, I'd not be worthy......but, having been firmly kicked in the arse and having my ego gently massaged, I decided to join.

I'm a non-current private pilot from UK (now living in Sweden).

My flying experience: I started flying hang gliders, back in the last century, briefly tried a Tomahawk at Ipswich School of Flying, then, eventually bought and learnt to fly a weightshift microlight (Pegasus Q). Then I upsized to various Cherokees at Little Gransden.

My job involved (and still does, occasionally) working in the Antarctic and I spent a few years doing airborne geophysics survey work there - so I've spent a lot of time in the right seat of a Twin Otter.

I'm looking forward to immersing myself in the world of Recreational Flying and frequently interjecting with my worthless opinions on a range of subjects.....

Cheers,

P
