Check out airshows.org.uk, apart from the biggies like the Fairford Air Tatttoo, there are a lot of smaller shows with vintage planes, cars, etc.

What time of year are you coming?

What a lekker vid, Koos, I really enjoyed it. I think that's what I would have looked like if I had flown at that age. I think I probably looked the same at 40 something.

I see Peter Kelsey's (FerryAir) name has come up in this saga as well. Be warned, he is a master wind-up merchant who cuts and pastes other people's content and picks fights just for the fun of it.

My instructor, Rob Grimwood, is blind in one eye. He is the current British Microlight champion, the European Champion, the World Champion and has been World Air Games Champion (not sure if he is currently WAG champ).

I know there are guidelines based on waiting times for heavy, medium and light aircraft departing ahead of you but a common misconception is that flex's are 'light' in terms of wake turbulence. Because of the high angle of attack and low airspeed they produce a large amount of WT so you need to be c...

Fantastic photos. I am an expat training on my own Quantum in the UK and those views make me want to come back and do some trips in SA. Especially with the weather here at the moment (and it wasn't much better in the summer...) What is the blue patch on the top of the koppie in pic 14? It looks like...

The sun is even shining, granted it was in June.
