Where has the "field-landings" website gone?????
As a farmer (and flyer) I was disappointed to note that the www.field-landings.co.uk website had come to an apparent end.
It was an excellent site for glider/GA pilots to use as a seasonal reference for crop type/conditions and I found it fascinating to watch the amount of work that went into it each season.
If anyone out there knows about it or why it has ended please let me know.............the content of "where to land" saved me a fortune in crop damage every year!!

field landings
Hi
Looking at their website, it indicates that it will be active again March onwards, but as yet is not active.
If you e mail the website owner, more information might be forthcoming

I am back. Late as usual - had server problems plus the less than good weather did not encourage me out to fly at that time.
Check out
http://www.field-landings.co.uk
Note the more idle format this season.
Could be an article in June S and G detailing my thoughts regarding the future of the website.
However in the meantime any feedback is welcome.

Monocock,
Can we deduce then that you are
a. A farmer
b. A farmer who has uninvited gliders landing in his fields?
This sounds like a branch of aviation thats never been discussed before - would you like to expand a lttle please?
for example - how many gliders a year? how much of the crop gets ruined and what sort of loss does that incur?
Just interested.

I wonder what's making me think that this is a trap?!!!! If I answer the question I am going to have a barrage of glider drivers jump down my throat am I not?
If I gave my real views of SOME of the glider pilots (male and female) that I had had the unfortunate pleasure of discovering on my land, this thread might end up with a shiny padlock attached!!
