And the farmhouse was on the front page of the Grauniad web site a couple of days ago, split apart by the earthquake
Really sorry to hear that GTW... :-( I hope they're okay despite being shaken. Family friends were in Kaikoura during the quake, got helicoptered out.
It's the vet who has the aircraft, not the farmer.
Well that a new one for me!! No wonder nobody was surprised when I turned up with a PPL!! How cool would that be!?
"OK, it looks like he knows what he's doing, report localiser established."
Glad its not just me thinking some of them aren't particularly "aware" of their surroundings! It is quite incredible how much situational awareness you get from having a radio! I have had a couple of radio failure incidents, and its pretty hard to tell who is where, especially at a bigger circuit pattern such as Biggin!
