The mods proberly don't care it will be the other advertisers that will moan along with the board admin wanting to protect there advertising.

Anyway wessex I think they left it longer than most things like that.

Its on my bookmark list now and in the future I will be getting a jumper and a pair of trousers out of you when I am in one place long enough to not miss it in the post. So no harm done.

PS you should get your website translated into German the Krauts love that sort of stuff.

Life's not fair, we have to just get on with it, I suppose.

I guess it's not advertising if I say that I've got several things from Aero-ist since Wessex Boy opened up and the quality of everything is fantastic, not only the clothing (I've got two t-shirts, "Chippy" and "High Wing"; a sweatshirt and a jumper) but also the technical stuff - I've got a flight cap which saves me opening up my head every other walkround and a wristboard which is made to such high standards that I can't ever see me needing a replacement.

Well done, Wessex for having the guts to do something about the lack of high quality stuff designed by GA pilots for GA pilots. Whoever designed the Wristboard and Flight Cap is a very clever chap.

Thanks for your support all, it has been a risk and I am still in for a big chunk of money, I think it will be at least another couple of years before I see a return.

there are many things we want to add, such as a decent flight jacket, some fire resistant Flying boots and create some 'cool' clothing, so annoyed that Superdry have brought out an 'Aeronaut' range, that was one of the names we discounted (Forum pedants might have pointed out the ballooning connection....) but it does mean that Aviation clothing can be classed as cool if done right
