Hi Brian. Sounds like we started learning to fly around the same time at CAC. 1979 for me on the 140, first flight was in DEE. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome Brian, I thought you were already here, lol.
Yes, an unforgettable flight that was in the Rapide, with Adam flying, and the Staggerwing and Fox Moth next to us. Thanks again for inviting me into that!
Nope this place won't move to Facebook. Sadly Facebook has seemingly taken a lot of the traffic that used to come here as things are slower these days but I think most of the people posting there still read here too. I do have a page there for the WONZ Show, but that is separate from the WONZ Forum. This place will keep on ticking over no matter what, and without the aggro or ads of Facebook.

baz62 I flew DEE on Boxing day, 1978, and a few other times as well. My favourite was EBP, because she managed to get me around my first solo circuit in 1981 (That's what you get for starting when your only income is a paper round). Still have a soft spot for the old 140's. Do you want some air to airs of your Auster? One of my favourite civilian aircraft. Have a suitable camera plane... dave Yeah I've been lurking furtively for ages, just thought I would introduce myself. Can't take credit for getting you on t hat flight, I only mentioned your name and it snowballed quickly! It was like mentioning royalty, quite nice to see. Yeah facebook has it's place - can't help feeling that it manipulates me!

Wouldn't need a camera plane she's still in bits! Yes EBP is also in my logbook. I went solo in EBB which sadly is no longer with us. |

Hello My name is Ian Cook, former Sgt in the Avionics trade, retired in 1993.
I actually thought I already had an account here, but when I tried to login, it said the name was already linked/upgraded (or something), and suggested I login with my email account, but that failed because special characters are disallowed (how are you supposed to use an email address with out the "@"..?)
Anyhow, if an admins can merge my earlier account with this one, I'd be grateful.

I haven't introduced myself properly on this site, bad manners: my name is Pierre. Hello.
Thanks for putting up with me.
I think i'll stick around and feed off any wisdom here.
All the best.
