Just so that the history is accurately recorded:

The campaign last winter to stop the "floats over water" change was actually successful because of this Forum. The HCGB magazine is published too infrequently to be fast enough to publicise such a campaign.
What in fact happened was that Jeremy James of HCGB wisely emailed members as soon as he heard of the Consultation document - and then a load of us fired things up on pprune. People like me got stats from the CAA for ditchings - and so it went on.

So well done to HCGB for emailing members - but well done to Rotorheads for giving us a widely read platform. If we had to rely on the HCGB website, the campaign would have failed.
