When's the big day TKF?

Monocock

Sorry to go off thread, but the facility to PM you has disappeared. Can you let me have your e-mail address again?

tKF

Don't take any notice of the micky-takers. Enjoy it. Let the jealous ones be miserable :ok:

Mono - I don't think that tKf is "web enabled" at this time, he is at CLN in a "sh!tty B&B, drinking pints in Weatherspoons "(sic), waiting for the wx to ameliorate so that he can gain his tailwheel endorsement.

The plan was to whisk him back here tomorrow, let him trundle the veep around a few friendly local grass strips, then send him home to Kent at the end of his half term hols.

The wx seems to have scuppered that plan and he is yet to fly the Cub but does have a couple of flights booked for tomorrow. Tomorrow's weather seems to be lighter and he has a further 2 sorties booked for Wednesday. Although the Wed wx is not set fair, Clacton may just miss out on the high winds until later in the day so he may acheive his primary goal.

I don't realistically think that he is going to fly the Veep home this week, given that it unlikely he will qualify at all. He is due to check in with me tomorrow lunchtime, so I shall let hinm know you are interested in his progress.

Thanks for that.

I'd love to see a picture of him getting airborne for the first time in it. Those VP1's have always fascinated me!

Cloud, PM's reactivated!

How'd tKf get on at Clacton?

I think that I may have spoken to you on the telephone last week, either that or there are lots of people buying VP-1s right now.

When shortstripper gets his VP-2 back in the sky and tKf has his tailwheel rating and I've done all of the million things I need to do to get my VP-2 in the air we can form the PPrune VP Squadron.

Suggestions for the Squadron motto, please.

Well tKF is now tailwheel rated, after a few days at Clacton.

Managed to get all the flying done in a day as it happened, and even had an hour of Cub "pootling" over the local area - bloody good fun.

That's all for the training now, but watch this space for a bit more of a write up.

tKF

Well done matey!

Come on.........you must have collected it this weekend?!?!?

Let's see the pic

Nope :sad:

tKF

Have you got her home yet?

Just to be an annoying bas*ard I will keep bringing this to the top until we see the promised pic.......:cool:

Still nope :(

tKF

:confused:







Still waiting old chap!!!

You must have got her by now????

do all your women play this hard to get home? :D

Nope :{

Next aim day is next Saturday - seems a long way off :(

tKF

Tango squared lies under an old leaky tarp(aulin) in a corner of my copse where the deer outnumber the trees. Last time I looked, she looked pretty complete...........

I urged tkf (or tcf as I occasionallly refer to him) to take his toy home last w/e. Wx = perfect. Owner playing lead fairy in the school play - say no more!

He knows I need the space!


Bliddy boy!

Will it burn?:cool:

Ludwig - we were both there when the man said, "Anybody flying a bloody VeePee should wear a hat with a bell on the end!"

tkf aka Rupert?

The weather for Friday & Saturday look ok. Fairly light winds, so the smoke shouldn't drift too far. :E

I shall sew a bell onto my flying helmet in preparation for next spring.

Where, exactly, is T2 based at the moment?

I shall be flying in Essex, on Saturday, if I know its distance away, I may have a rough guide to its altitude. If its more than 10 miles from Maldon, it may be above 2000ft. ;)

Have a good flight Ed :ok:
