Sailing now.. another of your many talents Gary.

I do like this guy ! no bull shit, to the point & very true

Hi. Mehdi, I can only give advice on HG & PG reserves. The skydiving kit is a totally different ball game ! Thanks anyway for the nodd

?.

Hi. Gary, I'll give the BHPA a call tomorrow, they should of told you about my school and that I can do Paragliding & Hanggling tandem ratings. The BHPA have had to re-think the dual rating licence due to some accidents because of the lack of training and currency.

Thanks Bill, hoped everyone got the idea a bit better ! its just like ground handling, lots of practise and then it clicks.

Next time will try to start a bit sooner.. I got home at 11.45pm

I dont think the pilot had much control Ron. With all that weight hanging on one riser the glider turned towards the hill. ! If all ok..... Very lucky.

If the dual Pilot decides he wants a helping hand to get off he must make sure that the helpers know what they are doing..

Why the helper hung on is a mystery ?

Hi Mehdi, nice flight. I was not aware you have done lots of winching including tandem

I know its a bit of a bugger as`I really did look forward to the LCC Im really pissed off :cry: :cry: :cry: in previous years it didn't open until about the end of march and you got an e-mail telling you about it Ive sent another e-mail to the organizers asking if its a possibility to open it up to...

Hi Chris, hope you get good weather and lots of airtime, if you find time its well worth a look at the new Moyes factory just south of Sydney. Unit 4/5 Clerke place, Kurnell, NSW 2231 tel + 61 (0) 2 9668 8686 Steve & Bill Moyes love UK pilots to visit them and you will be well looked after Steve...

Just brilliant

I would expect you will need a private room Colin ?

Ok for models

Top man & pilot very sad news.

Hi Bill, 2 for me please.

Will pay bank transfer.

Finally caught the litter bugger ! I've known about the Morpeth Otter for quite some time now but this little fella is very clever.. he can swim for hundreds of yards under very fast water, amazing to watch when you finally catch him so pleased to get this shot ! 8) This was taken Mon 16th at the Mo...

Hi Steve, onc'e through the inversion the thermals were ballistic ! I've had a wave flight in Scotland from Glen shee to 9,300asl with Colin Lark in the 1989 Scottish open HG comp. We flew 30 miles in a straight line ! 1985 Kosson, Austria. flew over a two week period averaging 12-14,000ft asl with ...

The wind would be around 18-20mph Brian, a lot less than you guys fly in..

Eric Gibson had pack in by then he only flew single surface gliders.

West hill to sunny Newbiggin, I remember flying through the inversion to 7,500asl then spiralling 6,000ft to avoid being blown into the SRZ..

Club gathering 14 wings and more to come. Aug 1980

Good meeting at the C.A.D. AGM and the NHPC had the pleasure of meeting The Duke of Northumberland ( Ralph to us now..) and I must say he was a very nice bloke and very approachable. I will prepare a write up for BHPA wings (permission granted from the Duke) this is great publicity for the NHPC and ...

Nice one Brian, the Salomon running shoes are great

Hi Richard, pleased to hear you are on the mend, could you give an account of the accident from when you decide to cross the harbour at Whitby.

Cheers Ron

Some good witty suggestions ! I asked the missus to judge the comp and it was very close between Ali & Mehdi but after much thought it went too Medi give me your post code Mehdi and the Aerial picture of your house is yours. Well done everyone !

Colin. I don't know what you are trying to imply with hmmm. I was coming to the meeting until today and thats my problem.. let's just leave there.

Colin I am fully aware that safety talks are important thats why safety is on the agenda at every meeting.. so why stop an annual event to talk more about safety ? All clubs have members think they can keep on flying in strong winds and get away with it ! we can try to convert and that's all you can...

Hi Colin, I thought we discussed safety matters at every meeting.. how long can we talk about pilots flying in strong winds ?

I don't think we are supposed to fly past the riding stables south of Crimson the owner has asked us to stay away. Does the riding stables still exist ?

Nice one Chris, how many days do you have to do with Paul to become PPG rated.
