Thumbs up

Thanks, now good on my promise - last week's was Aeroplane. Really creative, the chaps at The Times....

One question though - anybody know where to get the entry form/details ? In last week's ST it said 'will be published next Sunday' i.e. yesterday.

PS: was pilot spelled lower or upper case ? Aeroplane was exactly as above.

It's "Pilot". It seems you need to enter on the official form printed in the travel section yesterday. Although in the newspaper it says no purchase neccessary.
Here's the Times Competition link.

mdc, I found it - online. If you go to the Times website, register for a free e-paper trial, then navigate (no GPS required ) to the travel section, scroll down, you'll find it. You can then do a screenshot, save as pdf and print it off. Uffff.... bit absurd having to do this offline for a prize flying what's probably the most (avionicswise) advanced GA a/c in current production..... then again, if it had been online, the CAA would probably invalidate everything as it was using modern technology

Thx for the tip 172, I suspect youve reduced your chances of winning by a couple but if I win ill fly you anywhere in the UK you want to go... in daylight...

*edit* haha apparently you cannot access the travel section if you are in the UK??? Ill try it from home later.

*edit* never mind, reading the small print the e-paper is only available to users outside the Uk or the ROI. Guess ill have to use a router from home.

never mind, Fliegel, if I win you can come along and admire all the nice TV screens - even by night, when they glow nicely (till a failed electric bus do us part.....)
