Hi all.
I was speaking to NC yesterday, he told me the £50 membership entitles you to use the aircraft, and all the facilities.
It also covers your social membership for the bar.
I finished all the plastering work last week, and it is drying out fast, thanks to the industrial heaters Anthony had hired in.
There are some nice comfortable chairs and sofas to sit on.
Last I spoke to Anthony, the airport still had not decided which company was to remove the Asbestos, once they decide it takes two weeks apparently to notify the Government, then half a day to remove it.
Happy Flying

£50 is a small price to pay for NC providing a training facility etc.
Just look forward to the social side developing once the place gets settled.

Hi All,
TJ - When Jnr Dakarette's elder sister (now 9) was about the same age (3 ish) I took her shopping to our local supermarket early one morning to allow Mrs Dakar to have lie in. As we walked past the 'booze' shelves she shouted in her loudest voice 'Daddies Juice' pointing at the rows of cans as I tried to speed away. The looks from some of the dissaproving older folk was superb. Jnr D will no doubt be equally as embarrassing in public so I shan't be pointing out my drinking habits to her just yet.
As for MacDonalds, I detest the place, I find sitting at Foxtrot on a busy day with the Hobbs running a more enjoyable pleasure. I'm a most Unhappy Eater!!
I think its NCs intention to write to us regarding the fees etc.
BTTF - Thanks for the update. Why does it take the airport so long to get it sorted? Presumably they must have some sort of 'call off' contract that they use in these situations............or perhaps not. There wasn't anyone there when I was up yesterday otherwise I was going to try and get a neb.
Happyeater - I still owe you and Gon Tek that pint I promised, I'll get them in on the opening day/night of Wings

unsure... or you are..?

It's all about being extremely confident about one's sexuality, you either have it or you haven't !
Struck a nerve - the only nerve you are likely to strike is that small one in "down below" while enjoying "self fun" in your "toolshed" ....

GonTek.
You are constantly reffering to "closet" & "sexuality" - that tells me one thing.... and it isn't rocket science!
I can't help it if Miss TJ finds me irresistable - I would worry more if you did

Word of warning
I heard the other day that, after someone declared an aeroplane to be unsafe for flight the other day, due to an oil leak, the new owner of the Flying School at Newcastle, who I don't believe is an engineer, said he would go and see if anything needed to be tightened up.
This doesn't sound very safe, perhaps those flying there should be extra careful when doing your checks.

Hi everyone,
Don't know how people find out about these incidents.
It was me who tech'd the aircraft due to an oil leak. There was quite a bit of it but it was hot and we all know how it expands, the engine was smoking a bit too and the oil was dripping onto the hot engine. Kevin was quite concerned too, as he'd just returned in it.
Anyway I don't think Neil would touch anything that needed an engineer, all he was going to do when I left was see if anything was loose and needed tightening up. I'd expect him to call an engineer out if he couldn't find anything trivial that was loose.
Not something to loose any sleep over I think...the advice about doing checks thoroughly is good, but it applies to all flights surely?

Was there something in my posting that was factually incorrect? It seems not from the above.
Just want people to be safe that's all...and I'm not from the North East, I'm from the south west of Scotland.

Tyler Durden - I was about to comment on your 'North East Mentality' statement but it's gone now.............??? Perhaps you could PM me??
Regarding NC checking the engine, off course he's going to take a look himself! When your TV fails to switch on do you reach for the Yellow Pages and call for an Engineer? B*ll*cks do you, you check the connections, plug and fuse etc.............but should you be doing that if you aren't a qualified electrician?
I don't know much about aero engines but I built Ford competition engines in the early 80s, and the oil could come from a multitude of places - pump, filter, pipes, breather, dip stick etc etc.
As owner, I would be dissapointed if NC didn't check first before reaching for his Yellow P's and searching for Aero Engineers.

Tyler Durden/Reduced Density
It's great when 2 people join PPRUNE on the same day, at the same time....
South West Scotland... and you have a problem with people from the North East... I rest my case!
Firstly, are or were you members?
Are you "both" flyers?
Do you listen to gossip from certain ex-employees?
Oh, it appears "Tyler Durden" has gone from the thread!!!

Of course when your telly goes tits up and you have a go yourself that's acceptable. You are only going to kill yourself through your own ignorance. When it's a Transport category aircraft that you charge people to use then I'm afraid you are going to have to call an Engineer because thats the LAW. You are a tosser if you think that you are above that sort of thing. I have just this minute filed an MOR with the CAA to report this infringement as it is my duty to do so and so is it the duty of anyone else who may have witnesssed this occurrance (Mu Beta). It's all there in CAP 382 for those who may question the relevance.
Well done Reduced Density for bringing this to light and you are right to do so. Safety is no accident

Hi Speedtape,
Before you start calling people 'tossers' you need to look at the exact terminology I used in the first place. I said there is nothing wrong with looking to see what the fault may be - I made no mention at all of rectifying the fault.

Topjet/Noise how is the one of you!
Dont be so quick to call others for possibly having two identities on this forum. You were not too happy when you were rumbled.
I am with Speedtape on this one. Maintenance and repair is for qualified engineers only. Isnt adjusting bolt tensions an engineers job?
I know of one pilot who refuses to fly helis at Northumbria because NC has been doing this with his helis for years
