G Box and Flingwing,
Cheques arrived! Thanks chaps.
There have been 40 pledges on this forum as well as another dozen or so privately or just out of the blue......public thanks here to Headsethair, exeptionally generous.
To date I've had about 15 pledges honoured (tts direct to the account I don't have exact numbers for this morning). Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far.
I haven't started to PM anyone so far but I'll begin tomorrow so if you haven't got round to writing that cheque yet please tackle it this week. It would save me and Whirlygig loads of time and trouble. I realise its a bit cheeky of me to press you and I appreciate that circumstances could have changed since I asked for help but if you can still help, please do it soon.
Ian
PS would Mr/Ms/Capt Cobb (cheque dated 01/02/08) PM me with your PPRuNe name, please?

Age Fund
Hi Ian,
Just picked up the latest thread. Posting my £500 tonight. Give 'em hell.
I've finished the piece on Age Discrimination for my heli column in LOOP. I think the editor is accepting it for the March edition. I've put a note in for retro funds too, even though the case may be decided by then.
Will try to make the Strand in support circa 3rd March.
Good on yer!
Dennis Kenyon.

Good Grief!
Ian, I feel ashamed not to have done anything before. Sadly I have not looked at PPRuNe for more than a year for no better reason than idleness. I had mistakenly been told that you were not seeking funds.
Anyway cheque for £200 ( I wish it could be more but lack of business (age) has led to constraints) is winging on its way.
The very best of luck. Unfortunately I cannot get to the hearing since it is the run-up to NHF, but doubtless there will be lots for us all to talk about in the quiet hours at Cheltenham.

Thanks Ageing Heliman, cheque has arrived.
That makes us just about half way to the promised total including quite a substantial amount from people who did not make their help public on this forum.
Many thanks to everybody and if I haven't thanked you personally one way or another please forgive me; it will be an oversight rather than rudeness!

Thanks for the support chaps.
Start time is 1000hrs. Not too sure how many will turn up on the 3rd but it looks as if they'll need a bigger room! The hearing is due to last 2 weeks so there's plenty of chances to come and cheer after the 3rd if that date is difficult,

Thanks Nigel. You lucky boy; last time I flew in the Canadian Rockies was in an Army Sioux (Bell 47 for the civies) and that WAS some time ago.
Easiest route for the Fund is a cheque made out to CAA Age Fund and sent to Ian Evans at Careflight, Unit 3, Ongar Road Trading Estate, DUNMOW, CM6 1EU. I'll ask Whirlygig to pm account details if telephonic transfer is easier from over there.
Best wishes

aghh the old 47 . mine was G-BHKW with the turbocharger . Great machine for spraying but now i think in Cyprus... Anyway cheque for £250 on the way and good luck. As for any ( unlikely) left over , i dont think it makes sense to try to send back pro rata ..what aheadache
May i suggest that it is either sent to a charity ( helpforheroes??) or kept for the next poor soul that comes up against injustice from the caa ?? Just a thought.

Thank you for the suggestion.
It is important that nobody thinks there is any hint that I may misuse their money. If there is a substantial amount unused, which will only happen if the Tribunal makes an exceptionally large award in my favour, I must return it even though that might be a bit of a nightmare. I will only do so in easy amounts, though, eg 25%, 30%, 50%, 100%. Any leftovers will go to charity.

Don't forget; the hearing starts next monday 3rd March and is scheduled for 2 weeks. Any day you can get there to show the Court your support for a change in the Law will help the cause.

The court room into which huge numbers of reprobates and undesirables will be piling!!! 
I'm sure there will be lists and staff who could be asked! I'm guessing that the case will be something like I C Evans v Civil Aviation Authority!!
I won't be there the first week as I have my exams on the 10th but I hope to be a cheer-leader the following week if the hearing is still running.
Cheers
