Rob has my total admiration for his efforts, Paul, and would not presume to take away from him is exceptional achievement to which I can see no equal. The...
So we have a BMAA Councillor who opposes a £1.25 contribution per member towards microlight competitions that have produced multiple world champions. Woe is...
If the situation is the same as when I was involved a few years back, BMAA would cover £50 towards trophies for each round of the Nationals and the entry fee...
Again this is confusing the police with the legislature. What you mean to say is; "who knows best what is safe for us, Billy Brookes, Chris Draper, Nigel...
... Seriously, the inclination to see the world in terms of "cost/benefit ratios" is a direct consequence of having to evaluate everything in those terms in...
Not so Laurie. Without wishing to dig up the rights and wrongs of GPS placement, my GPS, on my front strut, was personally inspected and approved by the CAA...
Richard I have as much interest in competitions in microlighting as I do in fishing competitions. As in fishing and every other sport I can think of, at top...
... Pete we have over £600,000 in reserves waiting for the executors to claim it in G-STYX. Plenty of money for everything, even after underwriting the...

Rick Like you, l think those numbers show what an insult it was to make our inspectors pay for the day at Farnborough. I don't care about competitions, I do...
At 19:34 01/12/2007, Pete wrote as though I had opinions about the funding of microlight competitions and competitors. I don't. I know nothing about the...

One of the reasons for charging changes put forwards at the AGM was so that the technical and inspector function was paid from the users - aircraft owners,...
There seems to be plenty of money in the coffers (depending on result of G-STYX case). Why not fund both? What is this British culture? Whinging and whining...
