October News
2 RV14 new starts registered. The most for a long while. Also 2 RV14’s cleared to fly. G-CNDM & G-IIWI. Good luck with the testing and hope to see at a fly in soon.
September News
LAA Rally imminent, who’s going? hope to see many RV’s in attendance.
G-KJSW RV14 cleared to fly.
One of the regular contributors to the site, and also one of the North Weald marchallers, Nigel, has been busy and sent in several photos of new RV’s, these have been added to the photo page.
August News
Two RV15 kits are on order and heading to the UK. Still to be given the go ahead by the LAA but it’s a start in the right direction. Hopefully there will be no issues and one will appear in the flesh in due course.
G-RVTP RV7 and G-CMYB RV8 cleared to fly. 🙂
June/July News
Been quiet on the new starts and completed front. There was however a good turn out for Sleapkosh which had fantastic weather and great company. A must attend event which just keeps getting better.
April / May News
G-IXDZ RV9a which is continental diesel CD-155 powered has been cleared to fly. This aircraft was imported as ZU-IXF.
Flying season is kicking off with some RV’s going on tour to Ireland and Scotland later in May.
RV15 wing and tail kits are now available from Vans, not aware of any in the UK as yet, but no doubt someone will be working on being the first.
March News
UK Reaches 500th G-reg RV
Two more RV’s have flown in the UK, G-CSET RV7 and G-DCLL RV14. These were cleared to fly before G-IGBF, that I knew about from other sources, so by my records G-IGBF can have the 500th flag. LAA may of course know otherwise as they have the official records.
