    No, they buy renewable power in from adjacent and not so adjacent countries and regions where the wind is blowing. The Europeans know all about power networks and their efficient use.

    What the politicians don't or won't understand is that the wind is always blowing somewhere and that what is required to have power everywhere is to have a power network to move power around as required. The Liberals in SA sold off the power stations and it was Alinta that closed down the coal power station at Port Augusta. The greatest problem with power is that those making the greatest noise have no clothes.

    And of course those regularly done over by non government action. Financial gurus are causing a lot more damage than governments ever have. They are the modern version of the squatters.

    And then there are those, in the past, who were not permitted or couldn't afford guns who were dispossessed by those wielding their precious guns and swords and strychnine and rope. Perhaps that is the greater fear, the dispossessed coming to take back what is theirs - think to victims of the Romans, the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings, the Normans and their latter day fellow travellers.

    Hi Phil, where can one buy UK charts over the net - just in case I want to fly Hadrian's Wall or around Scotland on my next visit? Cheers

    In the case of the old RAA and the punishment from CASA, it was less defiance on the part of RAA but much more about gross stupidity by RAA. Even when faced by a revolt by the members, the response by the majority (edit: or a significant minority) was ill tempered. We can continue to blame CASA but we need to keep the boards of RAA, GFA and the others in check so they don't behave like the RSL (NSW), the local sports clubs and telephone companies.

    Kasper, I didn't say it was easy so your funny is appropriate. In view of your efforts in the past, Edvard Munch's “The Scream” would be a more appropriate like as it would be a sought after like for quite a few others.

    The self administering organisations are democratic and can be changed.

    Not just the "tribal" types but the basic education of some of the good old boys was pretty bad.

    What are the rules about boundaries to roads, lanes, travelling stock routes and the like?

    Although, in the vast majority of cases, flooding is caused by rain or tide or tsunami.

    It appears that some want to self certify their own BFRs. An interesting concept.

    Now that we know where you are, a bunch of planes from Sydney Flying Club will overfly your strip between 1030 and 1230 on 11th August on their way to Cape York. You have been warned!!!

    It is en I would suspect that it is entirely in the interests of the coalition to get Hanson and Ashby. Where are the PHON(y) going to go? They will probably drift back to the right wing of the LNP and continue to promote and support flat earth policies.

    For most people - at least those that drive manual cars - their understanding is based up "he dropped the clutch, it kangaroo hopped and then stalled, right next to a policeman at the lights"

    Any officer of a company remonstrating about not being insolvent or claiming "all hands on deck and fair sailing" while the company is in indifferent condition might find themselves the subject of fairly hefty penalties if the company goes into administration.

    I said "The new class 2 rules will allow for a range of commercial non-passenger activities including being an instructor." I didn't say that this applied to "Basic Class 2", which is a different beast.I am not a mouthpiece for CASA but it would appear that the (full) Class 2 Medical change is for the more mature end of the Instructor spectrum who "might" find it difficult to maintain a Class 1 Medical, or those who don't want to go through the hassle of a Class 1 but want to maintain a place in the industry so they can continue to earn a quid or they like flying and instructing (and getting paid). If I was a youngster I would be seeking and maintaining a Class 1 medical to provide me with the flexibility to do a wide range of commercial jobs including being a senior captain on A380s and role changes at a moments notice.
