Just for interest, what, if any, aviation related items do you have on your Christmass list? I'll start:
1) Boeing 737 cockpit poster - well I can dream and it will focus me on my ATPL's!
2) Leather logbook cover - the edges of my logbook are geting battered to death
3) Cessna 172 cufflinks, to match my new share!
4) And if money were no object, a Surefire A2-Aviator torch

But I'm hoping that Santa will bring me some flyable weather in time to get properly checked out before christmas.

Girl friend of one of our student pilots called in to the clubhouse and asked what she should give him for christmas.
Almost unanimous from us all - "bl*w job"

OK, AerBabe and a bottle of Southern Comfort (in that order).

I'll try and bring it to the next private flyers get-together. Fortunately, I'm getting enough consultancy at the moment to pay for the flying hours - most of 2005 has been a bit dry in that regard.

N.B. WR, it's not far from LHR and there's another share going I believe - PM me if you want the gory details.

I think the postage would be quite a lot - I've missed the last shipping date, so would have to send myself by airmail. :(
All I want for Christmas is some good weather next week. I've got enough P1 hours for my revalidation (due 13 Dec), but am 1.5 hours short in total ... The plan is to make the revalidation flight on Wednesday.

A-B, will that be re-validation on the `broomstick`mk1, or mk2 ? Hope the `outrigger` mods worked okay !!!
Suggest you don`t wear the fish-nets, thigh-length leather boots, black cape and pointed hat,as that might be `overload` for the validator ; stick to the pink slinkies, much warmer !!!!!!
Ducking for incoming!!:ok:

GtE - More Thrusting in the New Year would be great. I've got my regional commissioning board at the end of Jan, and my FISO validation at Duxford coming up ... After that, I've less to worry about!
Sycamore - I took your advice and fitted an oil temperature guage to the Broomstick MkII. With a longer warm-up time and a fully-castoring brush-head, the handle hasn't snapped yet.
