I think this thread should be renamed to "Bundy's Thread"

Really looking forward to the Potties Trip! It'll be my first (but then again, most of these things are!).

Sadly...I think we'll have to concede that this is like flogging a dead horse?

Microlighters has become a piece of flying history I'm afraid...it's become pointless to try and save it..

I learnt a hell of a lot....
It took me through my training, answered a lot of my questions and I was fortunate to make a lot of friends and good flying memories here.

I had a lot of fun...

I'll catch you around guys...

Fly safe and thanks to all of you.

Cheers for now.
