Nice one Amol, number saved in my phone

So following on from the BBC's terribly irresponsible reporting regarding 1 Air Lingus pilot and an "unconfirmed sighting of an object" outside of the Gatwick Exclusion Zone, here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-48086013 I decided that enough is enough and wrote to the BBC to ask 2 questions: Q1. Who wrote and titled the article, or at the very least was responsible for it being published? Q2. What facts do you have to prove the 1 pilot had seen a drone? Well, in true BS fashion, the reply I got from the BBC South East edior today was this: Basica

This came in by email last night: Dear BMFA Club. The following was published on the BMFA website on the 15th June. Please pass on to your members. I think you will agree this is good news for us all and a big thanks to Dave Phipps. The latest meeting between the Department for Transport (DfT), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and representatives from the UK Model Flying Associations took place this afternoon (Friday 15th June) at the DfT offices in London. The most urgent matter to address was the recent change to the Air Navigation Order (ANO) which introduced (in

This was a really interesting watch...

Lots of changes to things these last 10 days, forum software upgraded, main website upgraded and some significant improvements made to site speed and server software it runs on. In English, it should be quicker, stays secure and is coming into-line with GDPR because you now ALL need to login and give the club permission to send you newsletters. If you don't, you will not get them.

I know its all UAV, and have been aware of consultations etc, but not to any detail as such.. Life keeps getting in the way.

Bloody Europe dictating multi-rotor law now... http://www.thedrive.com/tech/18852/eu-aviation-safety-agency-proposes-new-drone-regulations If thats anything to go by, FPV will be banned because you cant see your model at all, so you cannot maintain line of sight at all..

Taking fossil fuel out of the equation entirely? Are these people 110% Retarded? Dont answer that, I've flown with them and already know the answer... What exactly do they think is going to be providing the energy to charge these planes up, if it did ever happen? Freakin Fairy dust? It will probably be the same stuff powering their customer service department... B***S**t

Hi Dave, havent tried yet... Will be giving it a go at some point when I get a huge backlog of video edited and up onto YouTube... Getting through about 2 vids a week at the mo, got 45 to do at least..

I spotted that they had nothing on their website, I was a bit concerned that it might be down for good... IT really isn't looking good for Phoenix.. Might be time to look at alternatives..?

Well, I finally got a small window of opportunity today to install the "Any to v5" update, and once installed, it works, but I cant download any updates from that point. Everytime I start Phoenix it "Checks for updates" and finds none, and going to "Downloads" simply results in it telling my to check my internet connection as it cannot find the server. Next step, complete uninstall and re-install from the v5 CD fresh... See if that works. I assume its just me who is having this issue with phoenix software not updating?
