NHPC Private and Public Forum

after waiting around for a short while it turned out to be canny day too!

Not in the slightest Brian - I was out hopping about today - I’m simply selling one of my 3 gliders and harnesses

Have you heard from your pal Kevin the chap with birds of prey recently?

Go for it!

tomato soup and steak very well done cheers

John my memory fails me these days but I do remember a few flights. The good dragging I got in the compression zone on east hill. Lesson learned - no matter how much fun you're having - never ever forget if you take your eye off the ball the wind will come and bite a huge chunk out of your big flesh...

Well after a few months trying to reinvent my life I'd like to start joining in again and totally agree - I much preferred the banter on here rather than whatsapp. It's easier to follow a discussion and keep focused on the point.

I've got an old harness - very old - more than welcome to use it.

Sorry to be a bore but I agree with the point John - and Gordon - originally made at the meeting. That pilot of the month should be awarded on merit only - and not for bloopers like being dragged etc. I know the award is just a bit of fun but it could also perhaps become a little more inclusive and ...

I can't make it this year either.

Plus surely an NHPC BB has to be at milk hope? Fire, bunk beds, big band music studio, bills big breakfast the whole shebang

Well done Gary.

1st place in the raffle though you jammy bugger

Typically Anth was a bit unsure about receiving an online whip round but has eventually gratefully accepted that any donations made will help towards his immediate basic needs. His bank account details are hsbc 40-34-18 / acc number 92109190. Below is a photo of the pins in his foot before it was pu...

Never done it before and it's been on my bucket list for years! As we discussed last week Bill im currently at the mercy of the tribunal gods so when I know if I can make it for sure I'll book my own accommodation.

i was hoping the club account could be used to collect a whip-round then total proceeds at say end of this month are transferred to Anths account? Should be a simple enough online process using a bank payment reference of something like 'Anth? Or if you prefer cash maybe you could give it to someone...

I was in Ager last week with my good buddy Anth Braidford from Forest Hall. We both had a great week until Friday morning when Anth landed hard and broke his right foot badly. Anth passed his CP a couple of years ago when working for grasmere YHA. He then moved over to the Alps where he worked as a ...

Thanks Ali but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to attend the next few meetings

NHPC Italy was a great little holiday in many different ways but unfortunately it's fair to say the weather wasn't on our side. Huge areas of low pressure in a high altitude mountain range with low cloud base meant we were clagged in, chasing the wind or sitting it out lots of the time but we all st...

Sorry about the late reply - for some reason your posts aren't triggering emails to notify me. The AA arrived that quickly (15min max) I didn't get a chance to speak to the farmer as I was on the phone arranging relay and with John Wallis etc then steering my car when it was being towed. There was a...

For anyone who doesn't have a 4X4 - like me anymore 😃 Be careful when driving up the East Hill track to the parking area. On Monday about 3 quarters of the way up the track I slipped into the tracks and my underside hit a rock in the ridge in the middle of the track cracking my oil sump and snapping...

If I can be of any help I'm happy to do so.

Happy to help

I paid ages ago. In March.

will do

If you are a UK pilot, please check NOTAMS carefully between the 9th - 22nd April. Exercise Joint Warrior and Exercise Griffin Strike promise intense aerial activity in Scotland (including the Western Isles, North West Approaches and the Borders region), North East England (including Spadeadam EWTR)...

Ok - what time is 15m beforehand?

It's not a direct debit it's a standing order

Graeme52 but not gone live with it yet.

Good read!

He quotes some scary odds.

To fly or not to fly - that is the question!

I'll go if it's on

After hearing Bill mention this i think Gordon and me went last year?

Some interesting people and aircraft. Nice sunny day but it was a bit quiet though?

I'd be up for popping along if it's a nice day.. It's just next to the beach - with dunes!
