Re: Bristow win the SAR contract, Sikorsky S-92 and AW189
I do find it difficult to understand why they would move to Caernarfon from Valley, they've litterally just built a barnd new SARHQ no more than 3 years ago. Also would the detechment of 60sqn Griffins still be stationed at Valley? Even with the downfall of a millitary SAR pilots would still need t...

Re: Arrange a Fly Past
Llanidloes High School in Powys used to have an "Airshow" actually flypasts, as one of the Govenors i believe was high up(excuse the pun!) in the RAF. Mind you the School is within LFA7. They did manage to get the BBMF & Red Arrows.

Re: Driving Standards

More often than not if your driving at night, on full beam, you can normally see when a car is comming before it comes round the bend, and I always dip my li...
