Mode S... in a Luton Minor?!
Come 2008 are these people really serious that the Luton Minor based at Eggesford, without an electrical system, used to hop around the North Devon countryside on sunny days, is going to be required to have an operating Mode S transponder?
Flying around from strip to strip, talking to no-one, with no electrical equipment functioning, enjoying the pure freedom of the air, is sublime. I don't want anyone tracking my every movement (not that there is radar coverage here anyway, but that's not the point) and knowing what I'm up to.
This really gets my goat. What happened to individual freedoms? How dare they do this to us.
