Cheers for the badge IFR...once again a two day turnaround.

Bit of advice to people though - send in some protection for it as mine got a bit bent by Her majesty's finest service.

You can't have everything........Where would you put it?

That is twice out of over 40 badges sent that the Royal Mail has bent a pin. 2 too many!

One or two people have been sending a small jiffy bag - lined with a bubble thin lining - might just a good idea that.

I have started cellotaping the badge to inside of the envelope, hope that helps but no way of telling, unless you tell me.

InFinRetirement!
You wouldn't happen to have patches for flightsuites with the logo???

------------------
Nothing to see here, just making use of the internet!

No! But you never know, Danny might be thinking about it!

Computer's been out of action for a bit but I'm finally back to stay at PPRuNe.
Seem to have missed quite a lot.
I'll start by posting a cheque first thing in the morning for a badge!

Darren

P.S. Can anyone summarise the events of the past 2 months?

Got mine today!
Brilliant :) :)

Thanks IFR !

Back to the top!

:) :) :)

------------------
;-) It looked like a good idea at the time :-)

IFR,

Make that 3 out of 40+ !

Thanks for the badge, superquick service....

The stapled internal bag survived intact, but the badge was somewhat flattened by some mechanism that managed to bend the pin.

I'd say that the bubblewrap should be mandatory with the SAE :)

It seems that a very few, but a few is a few too many, badges are getting bent pins within the machinery of the Mail system. To avoid this I suggest you put a small amount of bubblewrap inside your SAE and that should cure it.

Now something I am going to share - 'cos I like it! :)

"Pancake", one of purchasers of the badge, sent me a request addressed to The PPRuNe Fund at the normal address. The Royal Mail, in their infinite wisdom, decided, quite rightly I suppose, that the PPRuNe Fund does NOT reside at the normal address - and promptly returned his letters. He contacted me by e-mail and we sorted it out.

Got his request to-day, and I have sent him his badge.

A comment in his letter goes thus:

"Maybe the Royal Mail can only navigate VFR and anything involving IFR totally defeats them....!" :) :) :)

Cheers

Received mine this morning, thanks IFR.

I will wear it with pride.

Got my silver PPrune badge - it looks great, very smart and discrete - anyone who hasn't got one should send a tenner to IFR now.

Dv8 - you need your eyes testing! ;) it looks nothing like "PPL Wings", not that I'd be seen dead wearing those (nearly as bad as epaulettes!) and anyway Boeing test pilots wore jeans and lumberjack shirts on the 777 series on Discovery - so that's good enough for me!!!!!!

I shall be wearing mine with pride around the Compass Centre as a tie pin over the next few weeks when I do my day job.

Hiya,

Glad I'm not fixing your airplane today?? :rolleyes:

Thanks

Nil Fault Found.....Another great work of fiction in progress

I would love to get a PPRuNe badge, but rather than send the money ( NZD = 0.28 STG!!) 20 000km via the post I was wondering if it could be charged to VISA? Money Transfers cost too much ( $20 charge with Western Union ) and a foreign currency cheque costs more. It would make it a bit easier for us antipodeans. ;-)

Cheers

DANZ.

Sorry, we can't handle VISA. Not sure how to make a useful suggestion either. http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/frown.gif

DANZ. if IFR is willing to accept it, go to your bank or Thos Cook and buy the cash,(don't forget the postage). I have sent cash in similar circumstances on a number of accasions before without any problem when I was sure that the receipient was trustworthy, and I think in this circumstance you may be absolutely sure.

IFR

Many thanks for the pin - cheque sent on Sat, badge arrived safely on Tuesday. :)

RD

My cheque is winging it's way to you now !
