Hi there - thanks for your query re. Longside Airfield. The main runway (28/ 10) is c. 550 metres - there is actually more than that on the older areas to...
Hi folks, I hope everyone has the 5th of April marked in their diary for the trip to Ayton Castle. This week Peter Bevan sent me two photographs that show the ...
Anyone looking for company while flying next weekend? I am a student pilot learning with Marcus and Simon at Perth. I've done my GFT but not yet done a cross...
Hello there As you may know, Marcus and myself have been away in Gap, southern france for the last two months. I have posted a few photos in the album page of...
Hi all. I noticed that a microlight site in Yorkshire (Eddsfield) installed a £500 weather station and linked a webcam up to it - the figures and pics are...
Did you all know there is to be an eclipse just after dawn on 31st May? It will be a total annular eclipse visible from parts of northern Scotland. Full and...
Or for the practiced beach-skimmers amongst you how about:- http://www.caithness.org/atoz/dunnet/aerialdunnethead.htm Land on the beach , camp in the dunes,...
Dunnet would be a good beach to land on, problem is any view would be blocked although with the eclipse being at 3.30 in the morning are we going to be up to...
I have done some further research, and conclude that Dornoch is probably our best bet. Given that most of us are burdened with the necessity to earn a living,...
Hi Alistair, Dornoch is at sea level and there is a lot of mountains between, would we still be able to see it from the ground if there is no clouds? I like...
