Or a bit west perhaps.
Maybe if we stood your Tipsy on some oil drums, we could park the Cub beside it ?
Just from July 12th -Sept 13th ??

Has anyone done a survey of which M.P.s hold PPLs or better ?
The motor cycle fraternity did when faced with similarly hostile legislation with quite surprising results. Sadly I know not how they did it.
Be lucky

Here we go..! :mad::mad:
Just released is the Airspace and Safety Initiative to effectively shut down light aviation in the South East for a two month period, in the summer, naturally.
''Airspace restrictions will be placed around all Games venues. The major restriction will be centred on London and the Olympic Stadium. These will run from 13 July 2012 to 12 September 2012 and will be implemented by the Government through its commitment to deliver a safe and secure Games. Airspace restrictions around other Games venues will only be in place for the duration of the event at each venue, in line with those used for major sporting events. Extra security restrictions may be placed on flights at any time.''
You CAN fly, so long as you have a radio, a transponder, and notify your intentions hours in advance, so no spontaneous evening bimbling, even if your aeroplane could be fitted with all this clobber, which many simple vintage machine cannot.
