Rodger,
One of the two aircraft was on a Public CofA - a PA18 which was used for training and private hire. Fitted with the original generator, which wasn't capable of handling all of the lights, along with the radio which was added somewhere way-back-when.
The other aircraft is a PFA aircraft.
Would be interesting to hear if there is any legislation which would make this PA18 illegal. But, even if there is such legislation, I still stick by what I've said so far - there are aircraft out there (even if, according to the law, they will all be PFA aircraft) where BPF's SOPs are not appropriate. By all means teach them as a standard way of doing things, but not as the only way.
