Thumbs up Good info, thank you.

Thank you chaps.

I've had some good steers and have already written to the Pensions Advisory Service for their guidance on the strength of his thread (never knew they existed before today).

Thank you to those who have PM'd me & taken me seriously.

Solicitor recommendation please.

I am planning to sue the MOD for compensation for a significant issue with my pension. It amounts to the promise of one thing and the delivery of another (possibly promissory estoppel). It seems it's...

I, along with scores of others, used GPS in mil ac as soon as it became clear the MOD and the 'old school' were not going to play. I also used an ipad in flight for mapping, GPS and flight pubs over...

Flying Training & Middle Wallop

The HALS is in the wrong place & the Fixed Wing runways cut the airfield into segments (which, to be honest, compromises effective flying operations for Rotary). Apache have to go elsewhere to simply...

Thank you all. It is nice to see much less cynicism & smart-a***e comments on this forum than on the Military forum. I am trying to get the FIC rating paid for over two financial years by spanning 1...

Thanks artyhug. I hadn't thought of that (I'm an ex-Gunner so not very bright).

Actually, they are the problem as they do not have a consolidated list which can be accessed. Funnily enough,...

Question Where to undertake ELC Flying Training?

I am getting all possible assistance from ELCAS short of actual help in trying to find an Approved Provider who can help me revalidate an expired CPL(A) or gain an AFI rating.

Can anyone give me...

Reality check.

Rigger, I guess you are not a pilot? Perhaps seeing this from a pilot's perspective might modify your view a little.

Aircrew are very aware of the dangers of loose objects in aircraft. Owning...

Streamlight

I agree with Clockwork, try a Streamlight AAA. It has a very good throw for walkrounds & in-cabin stuff, fits neatly in a pen pocket and doesn't totally shut down goggs. Use an issue finger torch for...

Thanks

Thank you for the valuable comments so far. I'm in an unusual position having been on '75 and in receipt of that for a while but now on '05 as PA. I'm also a smidge beyond 55 so I don't think the...

I am truly disappointed by the scurrilous, disingenuous speculation cropping up on here.

How about we make a base assumption that the pilot was professional in his planning and execution of this...

Question So what about Puma 2 & Wildcat?

Any news on these little gems?

I assume the Wildcat is going ahead as it would most likely have been mentioned in the PM's speech. Puma 2 seems to have had no mention either - I assume that...

Thank you

Thank you for your replies.

I did some research before posting so was aware of the Pooleys thing etc. I can get a Wilkinson for £1250 from Sussex Swords but that seems excessive to me so will...

Thanks VR.

I'm actually after an original Wilkinson so it will have to be a pre-owned one, hopefully for a bit less than Sussex Swords are asking.

Where is it again? It's all a bit...

Middle Wallop Airfield Manager
