Old W&W add--cancelled, not renewed by
John Foster
If there is a listing that I'm interested in that is now moved to the "Cancelled Not Renewed" tab, how can I contact the seller? There is no longer a contact option for the add. I've tried looking up the N-number, but all I get is a physical address. I guess I could write a letter the...

actually managed to go through the paperwork - FAA/CAA/BGA- to be
able to fly solo with the BGA Licence. Flying solo is not a necessity, but
would be...

Starts Procedures ; Proposal by
Muttley
Changing the Start Procedures alone is unfortunately not sufficient. The now possible in Cockpit Tracking with smartphones on the OGN sites still gives the possibility of following a track/route of any glider.
