Hi, I'd be interested in meeting up to have a look at Tetsworth field. One evening next week would be ok. Send me an email, text or just call. Best Regards Ian E.

Hi All, Struggling to find any local flying fields (based Haddenham nr Thame) to even practice ground handling (still training with Simon W and not airborne yet). Obviously guys are out there (have seen them flying) and happy to pay some money to use a field. Come on guys - feeling very isolated, frustrated and lonely out here... Fully understand if field is for private use only (and not upsetting the neighbours) but there must be some friendly land owners out there... Please drop me an email (I check email more frequently than Forum). Best Regards

Hi Mark, Please can you add my email address (idevans01@btinternet.com) to the "Enstone interest" list. Struggling to find anywhere locally (Haddenham nr Thame) to even practice ground handling (still training with Simon W - not airborne yet). Best Regards Ian Evans

Hi Eddie, Basically "Radio Telephony" licence is a requirement for GA/Microlight PPL. There's a CA "Radio Telephony" book (CAP417) that covers the language used and has examples for entering/handling controlled airspace etc. Pooleys also have an RF manual, the "test" is part written but mainly an oral exam with pretend exercises that you have to respond to. Most flying schools run 1-2 day courses for the RT exam, prices vary hugely. Second-hand ICOM airband transceivers go for around £200 and there's an annual hand-held radio licence fee of £15. Did my my RT licence long time ago - bit daunting at first but suggest have a chat with a Microlight Flying School instructor (often a bit cheaper than GA flying clubs). Best Regards Ian Evans

Hi Mark, Still training with Simon W at the moment but planning ahead and looking for "local" flying sites. I am based near Thame, Oxon. Used to fly Microlights and GA so I have been into Enstone several times. Good location so let let me know any further info or possible into meeting etc.. Best Regards Ian Evans mob: 07968 097 580

Hi All, Just started paramotor training with Simon W at Lambourn but live in Haddenham (Nr Thame). Thinking ahead it would be good to link up with fellow paramotorists (is that a word?) in the area. Has anyone got any local flying sites in mind ? Does anyone know any friendly Farmers etc? For me the social side and camaraderie is important and a great way to learn from others. I've seen paramotors flying just south of Aylesbury (who are you ?) - not airworthy myself yet but would love to come along for a chat and watch the action. At the moment, weather seems to be a bit wet and windy so hopefully all will calm down in June and I can get out to Lambourn again for some more running up and down (and falling over) practice. Best Regards Ian Evans mob: 07968 097580

Hi Eddie, Thanks for reply. Just trying to get my head around this forum stuff and the different sections. Yes, Sunday looks good but unfortunately I'm away for the Bank Holiday week on family hol (well you have to sometimes don't you). Hopefully calm days in June so I can get down to Lambourn more often. Weekdays are generally better for me anyway. I live in Haddenham and have seen a couple of paramotors flying occasionally just south of Aylesbury (is that you ?). I've been flying Microlights and light aircraft since 1987 but stopped flying last year due to increasing costs and hassle, limited time (and money) and general lack of "fun". Have been looking at Paramotoring for a while and decided to go for it this year - visited the Parajet open day back in April and was hooked ! As mentioned, I'm a newbie and have just started running around the Lambourn field under the watchful eye of Simon W. If we can get an Oxon/Bucks group together (and local flying site) that would be fantastic. Let me know if you find others in the area... Best Regards Ian Evans
