Sorry to hear you invested up front. I'm sure Mark is at Seawing FC now.

They had a lump of your money, and you weren't near them for 12 months?

Peter Bowes,

If you paid by credit card, you can get your money back. If by cheque or cash, you're probably out of luck.

Thumbs up thumbs up for seawing

Seawings a good club, I learnt there in 1989 - I remember Willow Air starting up, shame it's gone as it had been good base for hours building & moving onto the Bandits & Sheds - happy days.

What happened to Capt' 'Freeperson' - anyone know ?

PS - SFC is very good too especially for twin & commercial ratings.

I endorse Old Timer's comments, Seawing is a very good club. I learnt to fly at Seawing in the early 1980s and flew on and off with them until 2006. It was always a pleasure to go there and meet the members who all are aviation enthusiasts.

I have particular fond memories of "Barnstorming weekends" round the farm strips and disused airfields in East Anglia in the 1980s with convivial evenings spent in the bar at Shipdham. Happy days indeed!

"Captain Freeperson"

Captain Freeperson (Nigel Freeman) is still alive and well, however he ceased flying in 2006 due to health issues. He has lived in Spain for 7 years and has various business interests there. He can easily be found on Facebook and is in the London Southend Airport Then & Now group.
