Hello, I have the first half of a set of Oxford ground school manuals sitting here. They are old, dated 2001, so the material may be a bit out of date, but if anyone wants to save them from the recycling bin for further duty they are free to collect from Sutton Coldfield.

PM me.

They are pretty much useless for anyone going through the system.

Persoanlly I would find your local Air training cadets and see if they want them. I used give our local lot out of date instrument plates and various bits and bobs. Even if the majority won't be interested there will be some young soul that will be chuffed to bits getting there hands on them.

Madjock, I recently (within 12 months) passed all my ATPLs with an up to date course notes and fell back (quite regularly) on the old oxford notes, think mine are circa 2001, they are in binders!

After all weather is weather, gen nav is still stuck in the dark ages, a wing still works the same in 2001 as 2010, probably the only one i didnt use to much is air law, and even that a lot of the stuff is still relevent in the books (chiacgo convention etc).

To atpl students, it some times helps to have another set of notes to explain things in a different light.

I will give you that.

And its those very 2001 set of notes I have in my loft. Haven't looked at them since mind so I think mine will be going to the cadets as well.
