Phil Perry Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 A couple of quirky articles for August 2015 on the BMAA magazine site ( forgot to post this earlier ) for those who don't bother checking out the site monthly - I know,. . .these's so much stuff on the interweb to read, you'd never get anything else done if you tried to troll through all of'em. . . Nice NMBF ( not microlighting but flying) story from WW2 about a seriously smashed up B-17 crew being let off the hook by an ME 109 pilot, and how the two pilots met up 50 years later for an amber nectar reunion . . . Bit about a Thruster there too ( Didn't know they still made those. . . . ! ) The new Rotax super engine -(apparently building begins in late 2017 ) sound interesting, if you need full power right up to 15,000 ft,. . . . .and max alt 23,000 then this could be the engine for YOU ( if you have a wallet of such a size that you'd need a hang glider to jump off it ) 135 HP 915 iS . . . . reserve yours now ! Main site : microlightflying.org.uk/enews then choose what month you wanna look at. Phil :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Perry Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hi Phil, thanks for sharing. That is an amazing story. Here is the direct youtube links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGzpENdbOg0 Thanks Sir,. . . . the SEPTEMBER /enews should be out now,. . . .have not looked yet as I've been away a lot and couldn't be bothered looking at the web in the motel rooms at night ! Sometimes, the "/enews " bit doesn't compute, but if you omit that from the link; you can look at any month on the main site anyway. Cheers Phil @ Sad Bad Rainy Whiney Miserably Cold UK.
