HAPPY NEW YEAR

3 more flying RV’s in the UK, or ready to test at least. RV7 G-RVSP, RV9 G-TRKY and RV10 G-TREL. Well done to all and enjoy. Also in the LAA mag this month are two new starts, a RV4 and a RV10, hope you both enjoy the journey, 11490 completed RV’s can’t be wrong.
November News
Only one cleared to fly this month that hadn’t previously been seen. G-RVBK an RV8 from serial builder K. Wingate. No doubt another fine example.
September News
Quite quiet on the new build front. LAA reports not many new starts at all this year. Cost of living? Cost of kits, they certainly have gone up.
Rally was hit by poor weather for the weekend. Numbers were well down, however RV’s were there in a good turnout. 43 Vans RV`s were in attendance (not counting the ones in the hangars) that’s 23% of all attendants RV4 (2), RV6/6A (13), RV7/7A (8), RV8/8A (9), RV9/9A (5), RV10 (2), RV12 (1), RV14/14A (3).
