Back to yer roots......

As I'm currently without a/c (for a short time) would anybody wish to enlighten me with 30 minutes of "doors off" Cub flying one evening in exchange for a go in a nice shiny combine harvester!!!!

If you're up for it I'll PM you Lat and Long of the strip and look forward to seeing you......doesn't have to be a Cub but a doors off strip a/c in this weather must be fantastic.

P.S Fit, firm female pilots preferred if there's an option.......

Hang on... you want someone to take you flying and help with the harvest? Sorry I don't have a Cub to offer - I'd love to play with your combine harvester. If I PM you the Lat and Long of my strip, will you drive it over?

nice shiny combine harvester
Now that really does remind one of those "quaint West Country courtship rituals", but I was under the impression you didn't actually live in Wurzel country?

Not a dicky bird old chap.

Not to worry, perhaps all the Cub owners are driving their own combines!!

Would a boring old rented club spam can do?? Not sure about the doors off though

not very fit, not very firm and NOT very female

Mate,

Come and have a go in the 'ole L4 if you like. PM me as I actually have a bit of time to spare over the next 2 weeks to go flying... in fact i'm off to the strip right now!

Thanks for the offer old bean. I'm not so sure the removal of doors on a spammer is permitted!!

Due to the time of year I'm pretty much stranded here with workload at the mo'. If you're passing let me know and you're welcome to drop in.

Share going in ours, no doors, strip flying, not a million miles from Popham - which should pretty much qualify as "central south".

Also one of our club members is trying to sell his (superb, and doorless) MW6s if you want me to put you in touch.

Hmmm cheap flying

As I need cheap flying.....how about I borrow your cub Kingy and fly over there.

Maybe this could be my new business venture.....a flying strip 'o' gram!

Sorry, I'll leave now!

Thanks Genghis.

I'm not actually looking for a share at the moment, just fancied a bit of doors off flying during these lovely evenings until I get my new steed....

Hopefully the engine will keep going on this one....

I can't take the doors off the Auster but the windows slide open a la Mk1 Mini.

How long is your strip?
