Don'tbe silly,if your "height" was 14 stones, you'd have a problem with reality.
According to my 'puter, ZEN are the hosting Co. "holding" the page in the second link....If you are the owner, please contact them.

Reading between the lines, if you don't pay your bill,Zen will suspend your service!

note:"274 bought"....that's over £ 13 K...and with the T's &C's allowing only one rescheduling.....

Then there's the picture of the pretty white aeroplane, which doesn't look like the Slingsby that the buyers will actually get to ride in (maybe)....just sayin.

Mr average
I have a app on my phone what shows new posts ,I looked at the last page and saw a post from Airforce1 with a link to a groupon buy from blackpool .
I didn't see any sarcasm on his post he said he was still going ,I thought if it was good enough for him I too would go , I took his post as an endorcement
also I am not a fixed wing pilot I don't know specific aircraft shapes /types there was a photo of a plane

Thanks a bunch guys

Unfortunately for you what AirForceNone meant by "Still Going!!" was he was surprised to see the company might still be operating, he hadn't bought anything from Groupon.

270m grass strip in a fully loaded PA28?

Some people never learn. ARC expired on the 27/08. 'Hedging' my bets it's 'ploughing' on regardless. Ooops another illegal flight.

I suppose the FlyBpl-type response would be: 'with a GPS who needs a compass?'!

They've always been happy to accept a myriad of other defects - this would be seen as a bonus.

It's a fact of life, no one can stop the murg from troyding at Egnh!

Slightly off topic but, i flew in to egnh a few weeks ago in my ev97 Eurostar from barton which has got me thinking, can anyone explain why the flying schools clubs at egnh are buying used c150's or 152's rather than a rotax powered aircraft eg ev97 Eurostar or similar?

I've moved from Blackpool to barton just because of the cost. The ev97 I now fly burns only 11 l/hr of fuel. The C150/152's at egnh burn double that at 21-22 l/hr and the pa 28's a whopping 35 l/hr. The fuel saving is passed onto the customer which results in very economical & affordable flying.
Question is why are there zero of these aircraft based at Blackpool?

Are you allowed to train for a PPL(A) in a Eurostar or other Microlight?

Very little sign of any activity at Blackpool for around a year, but the website is now referring to an operation from Halfpenny Green trading as Flightpath UK
