Just an off chance...we are collecting these things for my children but we
missed  Token 4  this week.
If anyone has the Daily Telegraph and has Token 4  but doesn't want it I'll
send you a first class stamp if you don't mind posting it to me!

I have current passes in all seven JAA PPL exams. I have UK CAA class 2
medical. I don't yet have the R/T practical.  I have five hours of recent
practical flight training (EGKB).   For reasons of deteriorating winter
weather and cost, I am thinking of doing the JAA PPL practical ...

What are the best weather sites for use with a PDA?

You often see reference to people doing JAA PPL training in the USA but

My site is an interactive directory of airfields. Information is
provided by pilots. It's been activ for several years in France. I
recently added the Irish airfields. (UK airfields were added one year

Does anyone here have any practical experience of powered parachutes?
I've talked about having a go at these for years but, apart from looking

I'm fortunate that I have a choice of airfields to learn to fly from.
Cranfield, Turweston, Sywell, Enstone. Which is the best to learn at
taking into account I'm starting in November and will be taking lessons
during the week and not weekends.

I forward a question asked after my posting of Spitfire pictures.
I'm looking for some information about a two-seater Spitfire which
performed a gear-up landing some years ago, during an airshow.
It may have occured 10/12 years ago, as I remember having seen some
