I might be dreaming but wasn't "Flying for Fun" or some such phrase used many years ago ?
Anyone out there know how many actual homebuilts ( plus I guess pfa permit oldies) were as a ratio of the total. I think the actual numbers of pfa aircraft attending might have been going down over many years now which is a shame but what are the facts ?
Whatever having been a pfa member and rally attender since the sywell days I would be a bit concerned if the FFF or whatever risked pfa money - especially as it's all going or committed !!
A re-focus on education and the building and continued operation of permit types is what the rally and pos the pfa needs imho.
The bmaa lads (member also) seem to be able to put on a damn good rally for at the risk of a few thousand quid, the gfwe is stunning, air britain have a do and so do some of the mags. Do we now have too many events and/or are those successful because they are focussed and don't seem to have masses of cost ?
