It is dangerous, and don’t call me Shirley…

Simon, I am so sorry for your loss.

Took my daughter gliding at the weekend. Love being able to share this with my family.#FlightDeckMonday

Looks a bit like Stansted.

Should have saved this for #flightdeckmonday !

Dad’s old radio (my dad used to have that exact radio, tuned to BBC Radio Cumbria. We didn’t keep it after he died. Thank you for an unexpected wave of memories)

It’s beginning to feel like spring when you manage your first soaring flight of the year…

Great to see you over here. Loved yours and Nomadic’s content on other platforms. I just fly gliders (sailplanes) here in the UK but interested in all aviation. The offer of a glider flight stands! My son is currently studying a pre apprenticeship in aeronautical engineering.

Safe trip. Do you think you can convince Bob to come over here from the dark side?

Hmm, now I feel old because I am on Facebook. Are you due in St Athan today?

Tim, the importance of true family farms cannot be underestimated, but it must be possible to protect these families and mitigate against IHT whilst also discouraging the very rich from buying farms simply to dodge IHT?

Well, if you would like to, I would be happy to take you. If you are in England for a few days, about an hour train ride from London.

EGSY makes me think of the Kingsman films!

Steve, have you ever done any glider flying?

Will this trip be making an appearance on Cockpit Casual?

Here is my Slingsby Skylark 2, rescued from a barn where she spent 20 years and was going to be cut up and scrapped. Hopefully she will fly again next year.

Thanks! I think that’s the problem, not much chance to practice. I did some training but never got round to the exam and we don’t need a license for the gliding frequencies currently.
Anyway, if you ever fancy a flight in a glider…

That reminds me, really need to get my FRTOL flying the glider is the easy bit, talking on the radio, now that is scary.

Interesting! And Hi to you too, nice here isn’t it, don’t have to plough through loads of angry stuff to interact with interesting people.

What is that?

The 737-200 reminds me of package holidays as a child in the 70s flying with the likes of Britannia, Dan Air or Orion (anyone remember them?) Always used to visit the flight deck in flight.

Wasn’t me…

This is my first post over here, great to see so many of the people I follow in the other place.
