I believe that the Babe herself will be at a Curry Bash in Epsom on the 23rd arranged by a notable local JP.

Very sad news AerBabe...

I had the same problem and simply just couldn't afford to fly after I completed the PPL but things really do have a tendency to work themselves out in life....don't loose the enthusiasm for it all and you'll be back airbourne before you know it...

Cheers

Aerbabe,

I thought you were going to do some cheap microlight flying? What happened?

Oops... sorry... I have had a manic afternoon & been unable to sneak back online!
Yes, it was a date-related thread, but very much based on real fears and worries about my (lack of) skills. I have just bought a share in an aircraft and I do intend to fly it. However, it's not that close to where I live now and I might be moving further away. Flying anything more expensive on a regular basis just isn't going to happen.
Do those flying offers still stand this afternoon?

And is anyone up for a curry in Epsom next week? I've been craving one all afternoon since I read that thread!

Do you really want me to do 100??

It's easy writing lines on a computer; you just tape 10 keyboards together & type it in once... that gives you 10 lines in one go!

Well, I for one bought the fish curry. My only consolation for being caught out is that I persuaded someone to believe the NATS Mode S blah.

Personally I would follow the aircraft.

Go fly - do what you enjoy.

Said partner will follow as appropriate.

Failed PhD - acceptable.

Lapsed PPL - NOT

You nearly had me going, then. I decided to wait till later... How many "hits" did you get?

Enjoy the curry with the Epsom Set. I understand some folks are travelling a LONG way to be there.

I'll be having a curry a few hours later, and about 5,500 miles further west.


Oh yes - did I tell you? I passed the MA. It's a bit of a jolt to the system not to be a student, after all these years!

Phew... and here I was reading this thinking you were serious about not wearing the red "remove before flight" t-shirt you were wearing at Duxford last year...

Er no you don't know me but I was there (took Flower to the PPRUNE bash in the Beagle Pup).

Keef, Congrats on the MA and have a nice time flying the Arrer III around the States.

Best wishes,

Charlie Zulu.

Keef - Very well done on the MA, I imagine it must be a great relief to be all done. Hopefully, this time next year I'll know how you feel.

Now, how's about this curry?
