Re: Coronavirus pandemic and how is it affecting you?

:D Ended up with just 6 weeks on Furlough- and have been back at work since the middle of May- even though some of the restrictions have been lifted- I am still reluctant to go to any airfields etc, nor pubs- as the virus believe it or not is still out there, and the youngsters who thought they were...

Don't forget 707's, DC8's and Tridents with VC10's and of course the odd Russian and CSA TU104's- but I am getting older. :halo:

Re: Socially distanced airshow - Old Warden 18th July

:D Great idea- the parking at Old Warden- also excellent idea no pedestrians unless arriving in a car. I realise it is no good if you do not have access to a car- but in the current climate- it is a no brainer- personally I do not wish to attend any aviation events until it is safe to do do. Likewis...

LAA Rally (Sywell) 2020 Cancelled

:cry:

Yep- The Rally has been cancelled for this year- because you guessed this damn covid-19 rescheduled for 2021 September 3rd-4th and 5th.

Only the Balloon Festivals at Bristol and Longleat to be cancelled and that 2021 finished aviation wise.

Stay safe

Just looking at the EAA site last week, and a couple of other sites I am a member of and I see that this years OSHKOSH is cancelled because of COVID-19 this year is becoming a complete write off.

Wrong info sorry- the aircraft in question is not a Seneca, but is a PA28 Cherokee G-BAKH which crashed at Barton in 2017. Sorry for the confusion.

Whether or not our firm survives is another matter- they are quite a big firm with a good turnover. Again if it does survive, it will be interesting to...

As I only work 4hrs a day I have been told that as I am only on about 6 grand a year- I will get my full wage for up to 12 weeks. Hopefully will be back before then- but ...
