This page is just a few links to flying-related things.
This is what I currently fly:
a Robin
Aiglon R1180TD. This ws Pierre Robin's contender for the American market -
unlike the more characteristic wooden Robins with cranked wings, an all-metal
genuine 4-seater with competitive cruise performance. There's surprisingly
little web-based information about this model, or I would post some links to
it.
It's based at North Weald Airfield.
See this page for directions to the airfield
The inner blue circle on this map
(500K) shows roughly how far we can travel in 15 minutes at
cruising speed, depending on the wind. The shaded areas around London and
Stansted are effectively out of bounds, but otherwise we can go almost
anywhere. The journey time to the Isle of Wight or Le Touquet is around one
hour each way.
This is a briefing for first-time passengers. If you're hoping to fly with me, please read it.
Before G-GEEP, I had a share in this aircraft,
(see
here for the full story)
I first learned to fly in Piper Warrior aircraft, mostly this one,
from
Stapleford Flight Centre which is located
here
