  1. So we have two new additions to the family. Hard to decide which one is the cutest. Zack my German shepherd puppy aged nine weeks or my new bike Suzuki GSX1400 aged three
  2. Welcome to rip off britain B.P.A. £111.00=$208.802 U.S.P.A. overseas $58.00 = £30.87 U.S.P.A.= worldwide cover B.P.A.= England if your lucky. At least Dick Turpin had the decency to point a gun at your head while he was committing highway robbery.
  3. Nothing on the diary of events for that weekend. and its my weekend on at work just turn up and see H he will sort you out with someone to jump with. enjoy the G92 and 15,000ft and the party after
  4. Ok do a search for spider its a freebie and effective if you don't have any luck pm me and i'll send you a copy Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed. Michael Pritchard.
  5. Has anyone checked this with the C.A.A. ? I know there was a couple of dz's running under uspa some years back Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed. Michael Pritchard.
  6. What’s with the price hike U.S.P.A. next year for overseas is only $58.00 or £32.00 As quite a few of us have U.S.P.A. membership (necessary as B.P.A. only cover this country not worldwide) Maybe its time to bin the B.P.A. £105 is a lot for 6 mags and insurance just to jump in this country. Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed. Michael Pritchard.
  7. No problems if you need a lift pm me we can always pick you up on the way down
  8. Yep will be heading out around 3pm you need a lift ? only me and my other half in the car at the moment meeting everyone else down there Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed. Michael Pritchard.
  9. Well just managed to get a room for sat night so me my other half my out of order daughter and a sh*t load of hardcore party ppl See you all there
  10. Yes I bought one earlier this year for my pc120. very low profile only sticks out about 10mm from my FFX. and yes no vignette (black corners) The service from flyers-pit is excellent. three days from posting to it landing on my doorstep you can always zoom in a little if you think its too wide.
  11. The advice from Wendy is spot on you will learn more from watching a video of your landings than anything else. also ask to wear a radio and get your instructers to talk you through the landing. The big student canopys are so forgiving its easy to land them without a proper flare. the same mistakes on a smaller canopy hurt. Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed. Michael Pritchard.
  12. Hib gets my vote every time turn up manifest and your on a lift within 20 mins friendly DZ and the bar rocks superb accommodation and free showers went over midweek at the start of the season and only three people showed up to jump (it was bloody freezing) they got the turbo finnest out and took us up three people in a ten place aircraft quote from swalty (you turned up to jump its not your fault no one else is here) how many other dz's would have done that Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed. Michael Pritchard.
  13. Good point about the cutaway ring. although its a soft rubber O ring and if i rotate the sping clip it sits flush with the strap. Only on the mark one version at the moment
  14. Finally got around to finishing my ffx made the ring sight mount out of machined stainless (helps being an engineer in a food factory) also machined the cutaway pin from a solid bar flush mounted the cam eye just above the audible pockets. and just got an e mail from Toraji at flyers-pit.com my 0.3 lens is on its way now if only the weather improves just checked the DZ 20mph winds and gusts to 35mph British weather sucks big time Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.
