Sponsorship,....for the Marathon or Round Britain trip?
I take it you mean the autogyro trip.
I had thought about asking the Government, as they seem to like giving money away for crackpot ideas......
If you would like to suggest a location, I will try and make it there and have my spotter plane take a pic of the autogyro and myself in flight.
Should you feel I have succeeded in your task, choose your own charity and donate how you see fit. Most shops/pubs have a charity container on the desk.
Mind you though, the weather forecast sounds a bit dodgy. Listen to the latest here.

ENOUGH! Silsoesid/volrider/missing lynx or whatever you're calling yourself. You all sound/post in exactly the same style. Busted.

gravanom,
This has been covered before and I stand by my previous comments on this matter.
I can assure you that you are incorrect. SS is/has only one person/username.
Thank you for the compliment though.
Regards,
SS

Then why do you all:
a) Have the same agenda?
b) All post pictures
c) Be so BLOODY BITTER!!
oh, and if you read the posts without looking at the usernames you'd think they were all from the same poster?

gravanom,
Clearly if I ignore you, you will see this as verifying your accusation.
In answer to your questions;
a. Because of the thread subject and our scepticism perhaps. Maybe you'll accuse me of being Michael Moore next.
b. Because it makes the post and therefore the whole thread more entertaining and pleasant to the eye. Were Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh the same person?
c. It encourages debate, albeit a little heated at times. Besides, it's a bitter world outside your window.
On your final comment, look at any thread where people generally agree one side or the other, and you'll end up with the same deduction.
Kindest regards,
SS

gravanom,
Fair enough, but like I say, SS is but one.
Maybe the other guys are at work. After all, it is 10am on a Monday over here. Or maybe because the net is so slow this morning, they can't take the time to come on.
Or maybe they don't feel as if they need to justify themselves, as by your last comment, you'll only accuse me of logging off/on etc.
You are barking up the wrong tree I'm afraid, although I don't understand why you are anyway. Besides,there's nothing up there.
Best wishes,
SS
p.s. Logging off to try and get a faster and more reliable download rate. Then off to sort out the garage, so I won't be back for a while.
As long as that is OK with you and you don't see it as me not answering your questions immediately for a different reason.

gravanom..we are not bitter I for one relish the thought of another round the world trip, good on SS for considering it in these dangerous times... I do think that all these names you put to SS are amusing, where does he get the time to be so many different people
Anyway unless you have anything constructive to say may I kindly suggest
So over here can get on with enjoying the proposed journey. I hear Paula Ratycliffe is also taking an interest, she was watching an episode of Coronation Street but stopped half way through...

SS if you are looking for a ground team then I would like to offer my services. I have a dedicated control room ready for use.
We have to remove the odd chicken and sheep but that shouldn't take long, inside is the nerve centre waiting to go into action
I would be more than happy to take on the role of route planner, I have a world atlas from 1982, don't think much has changed so that should do the trick

Thanks Volrider,
I may have a use for your facilities and your World Atlas.
The world was a safer place in '82, well apart from the Argies and the IRA, but if the round Britain trip goes OK, I'll stay away from those places on the world bid.
I've just been onto my Ops man, who assures me that todays aquisition of the new autogyro and trial flights were recorded successfully this afternoon, so I will be able to post the pics soon.
A couple of days prep and I should be off from Dishforth Wednesday-ish.
(Best I buy a packet of fags, (cigarettes for the likes of gravanom), on which to do the flight planning.)
Speaking of gravanom here's a couple of quotes of his from this thread;

I suspect Silsoesid, Volrider, Missing Lynx and Gobbie are all one and the same person judging from the very similar tone and nature of the posts.

Texas!!!!
Crikey!!!! I go away for a couple of days on a stop over and what happens?
A spam chips in on the thread with views of me and i find myself "busted". I personaly feel any association with said boy band is purley conjecture and would like to put it on record that i do not own either a vest or spikey hair!(but cant vouch for any of my "aliases")
"the only thing from texas is steers and queers and i dont see no horns boy" Ah the great movie quotes of our time.
If i was silsoe sid there would now be a funny picture of a crap boy band or a texas long horn in drag but i aint so theres not, sorry
Sid,on your flight around the uk do you think you could visit prominent places and post us some pics? Blackpool tower is a favorite of mine and the next time you fly your autogyro that way would love a pic.
Have you thought about setting up a mesage board so that anybody who wants to ask you a question or if there is a message from the team then it can be viewed there? Sounds like a great idea and i dont think it has been done before
What about future plans? After completing this flight and getting all the fame then why not use it as a spring board for the next logical progression and make a longer flight-the world is your oyster

"The world is your oyster"
Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Welcome to the Pleasure Dome, 1984. Most eggsellent album.
See the promotional video for the journey here (929Kb)
No probs in posting pics of the journey and as for the message board, I think here is as good a place as any as long as it is OK with Heliport and PedalStop.
Blackpool will of course be on the route, I have to stop off and get some rock and maybe even attempt a pier landing.
As for the future, who knows ?

I have been a regular ppruner since 1998, but I have only made 29 posts (this being one of them) would you like to draw some adverse conclusions about my personality as well?

Absolutely not Si,
Unlike gravanom, you have not appeared on the thread to cause unrest, with petty snide posts. Grav was accusing me of being many people and I was highlighting that perhaps with his record, it could also be assumed gravanom was one of many Jekyll and Hyde aliases.
Si, you are most welcome.
Regards,
SS.
