A question for the good Dr Plemming.......(although I don't expect a reply, but you never know) Sir, you say..........
VTS club members and friends (over 22,000 individual records) who would wish to attend would render the first test flight impossible, because it would legally become a display
Has someone at the CAA really said that, or have you just made it up for some obscure reason? Perhaps in the absence of the good Dr, some of the other 'experts' at Bruntingthorpe could shed some light on the statement?
If it isn't correct (and I will check with the ANO and other CAA docs') then it's yet another instance of more rubbish coming from this organisation.
BEagle. I wonder how many of those 'idiots' have donated to this cause? It is a little unfair of you to condemn them for having a real passion with aircraft. You and I have the same passion, the difference is that we have both been fortunate to let Mrs Windsor pay us for the privilage haven't we? Don't be too harsh on them.
