Whereabouts is your strip? It must be brilliant flying around there with that beautiful countryside - just the weather to contend with, I guess :) Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernsey Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hi Redsky, it's good to have a Welsh flexwing pilot on the forum, I presume that you are also a good singer. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Redsky, Be honest with us, can you read that funny wording that they've changed to on the road signs now (Welsh language), or are you flying too high for that, that you don't care? No need to thank us, it's great to have you onboard. Send us some pic's when you get time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexrbetter Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 What a stroke of luck; A recent joke here had some Welsh in the punchline, but it is undeciphered as yet, maybe you could help us ... It reads; "stit ruoy su wohs" http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/blonde-joke.132406/ Hope you can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Perry Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hiya Redsky,. . . . Nos Da. As you can see by the flaggery, I'm just up the road in Staffordshire. Welcome to the Forum. Phil ( Otherton Airfield - Penkridge, Staffs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsky Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Many Thanks for the welcome Lads, in answer to some of the questions. The farm strip is called Oldpark Farm and is marked on the UK CAA 1:500,000 its adjacent to the M4 Motorway. Its a friendly strip, it can be challenging at times :) to say the least. We have a mixture of GA aircraft limited only by the landing strip at 350mtrs uphill/downhill. As to to the place names of the towns, well I'm from a place called Blaenllechau, so I guess I'm used to it. It would make more sense to have them all in one language as it would save a fortune. Just completed a major mod to the aircraft, (New suspension, twin exhaust and a new Dash on the front. I had Flydat and I have replaced it with analogue instruments, so taking it for a 200 hour service and mod check tomorrow. I'll no doubt be a lot lighter coming back as the wallet will be considerably smaller :). If any of you are passing, please do call in, I live close to the strip, if you need fuel just let me know and I'll meet you there with it.

Blaenllechau . . . .I'll bet an aborigine would have a LOT of trouble pronouncing that one. . . ! . . but a lot of the Aussie place names, although not all are aboriginal in origin, can be quite interesting to pronounce ! ! . . . .I take it you didn't like the digital instrumentation, . ?

Neil_S Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hi Redsky, I think I have found your place on Google Earth - 51 deg 32.8 N 3 deg 43.0 W if I am correct, with Eglwys Nunydd Reservoir just to the west. Looks like a great place to fly, with the coast so close too. Interesting that you put steam gauges back into your plane - I tend to agree, I find them easier to read "at a glance" than digital. Let us know how you get on with them, and if you think you made the right choice! Hope the wallet recovers soon :) Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
