OK, jsut had lunch with a UK QFI as it happens.
We chatted abou tthis very thing since it was on my mind. He thinks
they sound like a great idea and he's going to try them next time he
does some lightplane flying.
So if your instructor shows you these next time out you'll know it
was down to me.




I have several instructors because of the way our school works. If one
of them springs this on me then I'll have you to thank!

He had a good idea for that. H e reckons one of the idsused airfields
that England is littered with is perfect for this.


Yeah, we've got lots of them near us. Sad really. Oh well.


I think a few are used for gliderports, and of course a few are used
commercially (Stansted, I think) and others are used for the RAF. There
were an awful lot of themm.
