I see a nice panel of steam dials but cannot work out the registration.

Someone sent me that saying it featured a gyrocopter. I've watched it a few times but I can't spot it.

Funnily enough, I have one (GYRON) at the holding point ready for departure, but with an OAT of about 12, I think the pilot was wearing a bit more..

Steer clear! They are so expensive to maintain. I heard that you can sometimes rent by the hour.

Dear Sir/Madame

This letter is to inform you that an enforcement action file has been opened because of an allegation that you were observed not wearing an approved high visibility outer garment while airside.

I cannot say that. She thinks that she was appropriately dressed and I'm not going to argue.

She can come and work with me dressed like that any time she wants. Really not a problem.
