Flew with them in November 1997, iirc under £100 return from Man via shj, sin to Sydney where I flew to Tamworth and rented a LS4 for a week flying from lake keepit. Unfortunately the anti Pom bollox got to me as I was paying triple the local rate, no one to check me out first day, barometer filched by a queens lander then on the Saturday was told that as there was local comp on I couldn’t fly. Tug was damaged by the queens lander towing the LS 7 to threshold and I managed to stop him taking off with a damaged wingtip which had gone through the tug’s rudder. Paid for a glide computer which never arrived and lost a couple of hundred quid on the deal.
But was invited to go sailing with a club member which was the icing on the cake. For £25 I could have changed my return flight but had had enough.
Some great seafood and pies.
